localnode.gettimezone
Function
Retrieves the local time zone.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage
timezone = localnode.gettimezone()
timezone
Returns the timezone.
Remarks
• See
for additional details on the time zone format and a description
of the fields.
•
timezone
can be in either of the following formats:
•
GMThh:mm:ss
•
GMThh:mm:ssGMThh:mm:ss,Mmm.w.dw/hh:mm:ss,Mmm.w.dw/hh:mm:ss
• The first format is returned if one argument was used with
• The second format is returned if four arguments were used with
localnode.linefreq
Attribute
Power line frequency.
Default
60
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage
frequency = localnode.linefreq
--Reads line frequency.
localnode.linefreq = frequency
--Writes line frequency.
frequency
Set to 50 or 60.
Remarks
• To achieve optimum noise rejection when performing measurements at integer NPLC apertures,
the line frequency setting must match the frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) of the AC power line.
• When used in an expanded system (TSP-Link),
localnode.linefreq
is sent to the remote
master node only. Use
node[n].linefreq
(where
n
is the node number) to send the command
to any node in the system. See
for details on TSP-Link.
• When this attribute is set, the
localnode.autolinefreq
attribute is
automatically set to false.

Example
Sets the line frequency to 60Hz:
localnode.linefreq = 60
localnode.model
Attribute
The instrument model.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage
model = localnode.model
-- Reads the node model.
model
The model number of the instrument.
Remarks
• This is the model number of the instrument.
