Using TSP-Net with any Ethernet-enabled device

NOTE

Refer to the

Instrument Control Library (ICL) command reference

(on page 7-8) for more details on

the commands presented in this section.

To communicate to a remote Ethernet-enabled device from the Model 707B or 708B, perform
the following steps:

1. Connect to the remote device through the LAN port. If you are connecting:

•

Directly from the Model 707B or 708B to an Ethernet-enabled device: Use an Ethernet crossover cable.

•

The Model 707B or 708B to any other device on the LAN: Use a straight-through Ethernet cable and a
hub.

2. Establish a new connection to a remote device at a specific IP address using

tspnet.connect()

3. If the device is not TSP-enabled, you must also provide the port number. If not, the Model 707B

or 708B assumes the remote device is TSP-enabled and enables TSP prompts and error
handling.

If the Model 707B or 708B is not able to make a connection to the remote device, it generates a
timeout error. Use

tspnet.timeout

to set the timeout value. The default timeout value is 20

seconds.

NOTE

Set

tspnet.tsp.abortonconnect

to 1 to abort any script currently running on a remote TSP

device.

4. Use

tspnet.write()

tspnet.execute()

to send strings to a remote device.

tspnet.write()

sends strings to the device exactly as indicated, and you must supply any

needed termination characters or other lines. Use

tspnet.termination()

to specify the

termination character. If you use

tspnet.execute()

instead, the Model 707B or 708B appends

termination characters to all strings sent to the command.

5. Retrieve responses from the remote device using

tspnet.read()

. The Model 707B or 708B

suspends operation until data is available or a timeout error is generated. You can check if data is
available from the remote device using

tspnet.readavailable()

Disconnect from the remote device using

tspnet.disconnect()

. Terminate all remote

connections using

tspnet.reset()
