A maximum of 10 format specifiers can be used for a maximum of 10 return values.
If
formatString
is not provided, the command returns a string that contains the data until a new
line is reached. If no data is available, the Model DMM7510 pauses operation until the requested data
is available or until a timeout error is generated. Use
tspnet.timeout
to specify the timeout period.
When the Model DMM7510 reads from a TSP-enabled remote instrument, the Model DMM7510
removes Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) prompts and places any errors or events it receives from the
remote instrument into its own event queue. The Model DMM7510 prefaces events and errors from
the remote device with
Remote Error
, followed by the event number and description.
Example
tspnet.write(deviceID, "*idn?\r\n")
print("write/read returns:", tspnet.read(deviceID))
Send the
"*idn?\r\n"
message to
the instrument connected as
deviceID
.
Display the response that is read from
deviceID
(based on the
*idn?
message).

Details
This command checks to see if any output data is available from the device. No data is read from the
instrument. This allows TSP scripts to continue to run without waiting on a remote command to finish.
Example
ID = tspnet.connect("192.0.2.1")
tspnet.write(ID, "*idn?\r\n")
repeat bytes = tspnet.readavailable(ID) until bytes > 0
print(tspnet.read(ID))
tspnet.disconnect(ID)
Send commands that will create
data.
Wait for data to be available.
