The following command returns the model of the card in the specified slot of the local instrument,
along with a description of the card, the firmware version, and the serial number.
To get information from cards in TSP-Link connected instruments, send:
print(node[
nodeNumber
].slot[
slotNumber
].idn)
Where:
nodeNumber
is the TSP-Link node of the remote system and
slotNumber
is the slot on the
instrument to query. For more information, see

Relay test input
The Model 707B or 708B instrument does not use a relay test connector, so this command is not
supported.

Connect rules
On the Model 707B or 708B, this command sets the connect rules for the entire instrument. You
cannot set this rule on a row-by-row basis. If this feature is required, the high performance of the
Model 707B or 708B instrument provides ample time to change the connection rules as needed
before channel close or open operations. For more information, see
channel functions and attributes
(on page 5-4).

Termination character sent by instrument
The Model 707B or 708B always sends a linefeed (ASCII 10) as a termination character after any
data. This behavior cannot be changed.
