In LabTalk, the script length limitation of the for loop command is 3072 characters, including white spaces. If the script is too long, you can use define command to first define a macro then call the macro in the loop.

Example:

// Define three macros
define Part1 {ty one;}; 
define Part2 {ty two;}; 
define Part3 {ty three;}; 

// Call macros within for loop
int ii=0; 
for (ii=0;ii<3;ii++) 
{ 
Part1; 
Part2; 
Part3; 
}
