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. A user script
can be saved in the nonvolatile memory of the Series 3700. If it is not saved, the Series 3700
will lose the script when it 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.
