TSP-Net compared to TSP-Link to communicate with TSP-enabled
devices
The TSP-Link
®
network interface is the preferred communication method for most applications where
communication occurs between the Series 2600B and another TSP-enabled instrument.
One of the advantages of using the TSP-Link network interface is that TSP-Link connections have
three synchronization lines that are available to each device on the TSP-Link network. You can use
any one of the synchronization lines to perform hardware triggering between devices on the TSP-Link
network. Refer to
Hardware trigger modes
(on page 3-57) for details.
However, if the distance between the Series 2600B and the TSP-enabled device is longer than
15 feet, use TSP-Net commands.
