Example 2
display.loadmenu.add("Test", "DUT1() beeper.beep(2, 500)", display.SAVE)
Assume a script with a function named “DUT1” has already been loaded into the instrument, and the script has
not been saved in nonvolatile memory.
Now assume you want to add a test named “Test” to the USER TESTS menu. You want the test to run the
function named “DUT1” and sound the beeper. This example adds “Test” to the menu, defines the code, and
then saves the displayName and code in nonvolatile memory.
When “Test” is run from the front panel USER TESTS menu, the function named “DUT1” executes and the
beeper beeps for two seconds.
Now assume you turn off instrument power. Because the script was not saved in nonvolatile memory, the
function named “DUT1” is lost when you turn the instrument on. When “Test” is again run from the front panel,
an error is generated because DUT1 no longer exists in the instrument as a function.
Example 3
display.loadmenu.add("Part1", "testpart([[Part1]], 5.0)", display.SAVE)
Adds an entry called “Part1” to the front panel USER TESTS load menu for the code testpart([[Part1]],
5.0), and saves it in nonvolatile memory.
