To assign a node number through programming:
Set the
tsplink.node
attribute of that instrument:
tsplink.node =
N
Where
:
N
= 1 to 64
The node number of an instrument can be determined by reading the
tsplink.node
attribute as
follows:
print(tsplink.node)
The above
command will output the node number. For example, if the node number is 1, the
value
1.00
will be displayed.
Resetting the TSP-Link network
After all the node numbers are set, you must initialize the system by performing a TSP-Link
®
network
reset. For initialization to succeed, all units must be turned on when the TSP-Link network reset is
performed.
NOTE
If you change the system topology after initialization, you must reinitialize the system by performing a
TSP-Link network reset. Changes that affect the system topology include powering down or rebooting
any unit in the system, or rearranging or disconnecting the LAN cable connections between units.
