Windows Scriptor Launcher
Introduction
Scriptor Launcher provides a graphical interface for Ocean Optics’ Jaz Scripting Language Engine (JSL)
when used with Windows. The scripting engine is the program that parses and executes user scripts for
Jaz. By using the launcher, you need not interact with the system at a command line level. The launcher
provides the means for observing the results from a tethered Jaz program by either viewing the console
output or capturing the same data in a ‘capture’ file. A capture file is a plain text file which holds all the
information generated by the scripting engine during a run. You may save this file for future reference.
Configuration
Installation of the Scriptor Launcher merely requires a copy of the file ScriptorLauncher.exe in the
location of your choice on your local file system. It is suggested that you store the application in the
default directory named C:\Program Files\Ocean Optics\JSL. You may wish to create a desktop shortcut
to make application launch more convenient.
Prerequisites
The script launcher runs on Windows 7, XP, and Vista. The launcher should be installed in the same
directory as the scripting engine, although this is not essential.
System requirements include the following:
 Computer running Windows 7, XP or Vista
 The Scriptor.exe scripting engine installed
 The scriptor launcher application installed
 To view captures from the application, WordPad.exe must be on your path. WordPad is used to
view the output of your scripting section. See your Microsoft Windows manual for path setting
tasks.
