tsplink functions and attributes
Use the function and attributes in this group to assign node numbers to Series
3700 instruments and initialize the TSP-Link
TM
system.
tsplink.group
Attribute
The group number of a TSP-Link
TM
node.
Usage
groupnumber = tsplink.group
tsplink.group = groupnumber
groupnumber: The TSP-Link group number for the node.
Remarks
This attribute controls the TSP-Link group number used for DTNS. Set this attribute to
zero to remove the node from all subgroups.
tsplink.master
Attribute
The node number of the master node.
Usage
master = tsplink.master
master: The node number of the master node.
Remarks
This read-only attribute indicates which node is the master node.
tsplink.node
Attribute
TSP-Link
TM
node number.
Usage
To read the node number:
mynode = tsplink.node
To write the node number:
tsplink.node = mynode
mynode: Set node number from 1 to 64. Default value is 2.
Remarks
This attribute sets the TSP-Link node number and saves the value in nonvolatile
memory.
After changing the node number, it will not take effect until the next time
tsplink.reset() (on page 13-294) is executed on any node in the system.
Each node connected to the TSP-Link must be assigned a different node number.
Example
Sets the TSP-Link node to number 2:
tsplink.node = 2
tsplink.reset()
Function
Initializes (resets) all nodes (instruments) in the TSP-Link
TM
system.
Usage
tsplink.reset()
