Initializing the TSP-Link system
The TSP-Link
®
system must be initialized after configuration changes. You need to initialize the
system after you:
•
Turn off power or reboot any instrument in the system
•
Change node numbers on any instrument in the system
•
Rearrange or disconnect the TSP-Link cable connections between instruments
If initialization is not successful, you can check the event log for error messages that indicate the
problem. Some typical problems include:
•
Two or more instruments in the system have the same node number
•
There are no other instruments connected to the instrument performing the initialization
•
One or more of the instruments in the system is turned off
•
The actual number of nodes is less than the expected number
From the front panel:
1. Power on all instruments connected to the TSP-Link network.
2. Press the
MENU
key.
3. Under System, select
Communication
. The SYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS window opens.
4. Select the
TSP-Link
tab.
5. Select
Initialize
.
Using TSP commands:
To initialize the TSP-Link system, send the command:
tsplink.initialize()
To check the state of the TSP-Link system, send the command:
print(tsplink.state)
If initialization was successful,
online
is returned. If initialization was not successful,
offline
is
returned.
Sending commands to TSP-Link nodes
You can send remote commands to any instrument on the TSP-Link system by adding
node[
N
].
to
the beginning of the remote command, where
N
is the node number.
For example, to sound the beeper on node 10, you would send the command:
node[10].beeper.beep(2, 2400)
To send a command to the master, you can interact with it as if it were a single instrument.
