11.11 Automating Tasks with Remote Command Scripts
To achieve fast configuration, make complex test setups or repeating measurements
reproducible, you can automate the required settings with scripts. A script contains a
series of SCPI commands corresponding to the settings. When completed, it is conver-
ted to an executable format, saved in a file and can be run whenever needed.
If you frequently need to load and run a script, assign the script to the USER, and you
can quickly and easily perform the task.
See
Chapter 10.2.3, "Assigning Actions to the User Key"
Note:
In contrast to "Recall Setup" via the USER key, an assigned script execution
does not close active dialogs and windows. On the contrary, even active window con-
trol (open / close) is possible.

In the graph, you can see the main steps required to work with an SCPI script.
