The

parameter is the name that is added to the
script.user.scripts
table. If
name
is not given, an
empty string will be used, and the script will be unnamed. If the name already exists in
script.user.scripts
,
the existing script's
name
attribute is set to an empty string before it is replaced by the new script.
Note that

is the value that is used for the instrument front panel display. If this value is not defined, the
script will not be available from the instrument front panel.
You must save the new script into nonvolatile memory to keep it when the instrument is turned off.
