For 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:
nodenumber = tsplink.node
print(nodenumber)
The above
command will return the node number. For example, if the node
number is 1, the value
1.000000e00
will be returned.
Step 3: Reset the TSP-Link
Reference
Refer to “Initialization” in Section 9 of the Series 2600 Reference
Manual for more information on resetting the TSP-Link.
After all the node numbers are set, you must reset (initialize) the TSP-Link
interface system. For initialization to succeed, all units must be powered on when
the TSP-Link reset is performed.
The TSP-Link reset can be performed from the
MAIN MENU
of any instrument in
the system; this process is summarized in
