For example, to print the channel images on this card when it is in slot 2 after a reset, send the
following:
reset()
print(channel.getimage("slot2"))
Output from above code:
2001;2002;2003;2004;2005;2006;2007;2008;2009;2010;2011;2012;2013;2014;2015;
2016;2017;2018;2019;2020;2021;2022;2023;2024;2025;2026;2027;2028;2029;2030;
2031;2032;2033;2034;2035;2036;2037;2038;2039;2040;2041;2042;2911;2912;2913;

The commonside ohms backplane relays (2917, 2927, and 2928) are listed based on bank location
(for more details about the Model 3721, see the Series 3700 Switch and Control Cards Reference
Manual).
Information on scripting and programming
If you need information about using scripts with your TSP-enabled instrument, see
If you need information about using the Lua programming language with the instrument, see
Fundamentals of programming for TSP
(on page 10-15).
Files
File formats
Each script, reading buffer, and saved setup is represented on a flash drive as a separate file.
Directories on a flash drive used with the Series 3700A can only contain a limited number of files. The
top-level directory is limited to approximately 150 files, while subdirectories are limited to
approximately 500 files. Once the limit has been reached, a "file system full" error message is
generated.
Default file extensions
You must specify the full filename, including the extension, when sending commands. Note, however,
that the front panel automatically generates a generic filename that you can use as a base for naming
your files. Also, some commands (for example,
(on page 11-255)) will work with either a
relative or absolute path to the current working directory.
The Series 3700A has the following set of default extensions:
•
.tsp
(Test Script Processor) for scripts
•
.csv
(comma-separated values) for reading buffers
•
.set
for saved setups
