Example script

The following example demonstrates how to connect to a remote non-TSP

enabled device, and send and receive data from this device:

-- Disconnect all existing TSP-Net

connections.

tspnet.reset()

-- Set tspnet timeout to 5 seconds.

tspnet.timeout = 5

-- Establish connection to another device with IP address

192.168.1.51 at port 1394.

id_instr = tspnet.connect("192.168.1.51",1394, "*rst\r\n")

-- Print the device ID from connect string.

print("ID is: ", id_instr)

-- Set termination character to CRLF. You must do this on a

per connection basis after connection has been made.

tspnet.termination(id_instr, tspnet.TERM_CRLF)

-- Send the command string to the connected device

tspnet.write(id_instr,"*idn?" .. "\r\n")

-- Read the data available, then prints it.

print("instrument write/read returns:: " ,

tspnet.read(id_instr))

-- Disconnect all existing TSP-Net sessions.

tspnet.reset()
