Details
After adding code to the load menu, you can run it from the front panel by pressing the LOAD key, then selecting
USER to select from the available code to load. Pressing the RUN key will then run the script.
You can add items in any order. They are always displayed in alphabetic order when the menu is selected.
Any Lua code can be can be included in the code parameter. If memory is set to display.SAVE, the entry
(name and code) is saved in nonvolatile memory. Scripts, functions, and variables used in the code are not
saved by display.SAVE. Functions and variables need to be saved with the code. If the code is not saved in
nonvolatile memory, it will be lost when the Series 2600B is turned off. See Example 2 below.
If you do not make a selection for memory, the code is automatically saved to nonvolatile memory.
You can create a script that defines several functions, and then use the
display.loadmenu.add() command to add items that call those individual functions. This allows
the operator to run tests from the front panel.
Example 1
display.loadmenu.add("Test9", "Test9()")
Assume a user script named "Test9" has
been loaded into the run-time environment.
Adds the menu entry to the User menu to run
the script after loading.
