Remote programming
The
tsplink.node
attribute is used to set the node number for an 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
1.000000e00
will be output.
Resetting the TSP-Link
After all the node numbers are set, you must initialize the system by performing a
TSP-Link reset. For initialization to succeed, all units must be powered on when
the TSP-Link reset is performed.
NOTE
If you change the system topology after
initialization, you must re-initialize the system by
performing a TSP-Link reset. Changes that affect the
system topology include:
• Powering down or rebooting any unit in the sys-
tem.
• Rearranging or disconnecting the LAN cable
connections between units.
