Programming model for scripts
User-created scripts can be stored in nonvolatile memory. When the Series
3700 is turned on, all user script functions are recalled into the run-time
environment from nonvolatile memory. If any user scripts have been
programmed to run automatically, they will run after all the scripts are loaded.
Any script in the run-time environment can be run from the Test Script Builder or
the user‟s own program. Test data (for example, a reading) is returned from the
Series 3700 to the computer. A user script can be created using the Test Script
Builder or the user‟s own program. Once the user script is loaded into the run-
time environment, it is ready to be run. Scripts that are not saved are lost when
the Series 3700 is turned off.
Script management includes commands for the following operations:
Retrieve scripts from nonvolatile memory so they can be modified.
Delete user scripts from nonvolatile memory.
Restore scripts in the run-time environment from nonvolatile memory.
The fundamental programming model for scripts is shown in the following figure.
