# Part 2 - Create Function Block to Launch Programming Services

### 1. Open Function Blocks View:

The next step is to create a function block to control the diagnostic services created. Open the Function Blocks view selecting **Scripting and Automation> Function Blocks**from the main menu.

### 2. Create a Script Function Block:

Click the **+ button** and select **Script**. Change the description of the function block to something more descriptive like **Program ECUs**.

### 3. Write the Script:

Now a script needs to be entered. For this task 6 steps will be needed. The steps needed and descriptions of what they do are found in the **Table 1**. For the **Diag Job Action**, double clicking on the **Value** cell will allow selection of the diagnostic job to act on and how to act on it. For more information on this command see the help for the [Diag Job Action command](../../vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-scripting-and-automation/function-blocks/function-blocks-types/script-type-function-block-commands/script-type-function-block-command-diag-job-action).

### 4. Configure the Start Setting:

On the **Start** tab select **Manual Start**. This allows the Script function block to be started using Graphical Panel controls that will be set up in the next part of this tutorial.
