If the new name is the same as a name that is already used for a script, the name of the existing
script is removed and that script becomes unnamed. This removes the existing script if there are no
other variables that reference the previous script. If variables do reference the existing script, the
references remain intact.
Changing the name of a script does not change the name of any variables that reference that script.
After changing the name, the script is located in the
script.user.scripts
table under its new
name.
Figure 99: Rename script
For example, to change the name of the script named
test2
to be
autoexec
:
test2.name = "autoexec"
test2.save()
The
autoexec
script runs automatically when the instrument is turned on. It runs after all the scripts
have loaded and any scripts marked as autorun have run.
You can also use the
script.new()
and the
scriptVar.
source
attribute commands to create a
script with a new name. For example, if you had an existing script named
test1
, you could create a
new script named
test2
by sending the command:
test2 = script.new(test1.source, "test2")
