B.1 Device Script Generic Rules
Scripts are lists of commands that can be imported and executed in the software in rapid succession to configure a device for a certain configuration.
- Script commands are executed as written, ensure each command is valid.
- DELAY commands temporarily delay execution after a script command is read. Most commands have a built-in delay but additional delay may be required, based on the script.
- PAUSE commands block execution until manually resumed to allow time to perform work between commands.
- Use COLLECT commands with caution, they cannot be used to perform continuous data collection. A COLLECT command should not follow another COLLECT command in a script unless:
- Always use the step command and allow the software to complete one COLLECT command before beginning the next.
- COLLECT commands must be separated with a PAUSE command to allow COLLECT commands to complete before beginning the next.
