Details
This attribute stores a string that contains a description of the instrument. This value appears on LXI
welcome page of the instrument. The value of this attribute is also used as the mDNS service name
of the instrument.
This attribute's default value contains
Keithley
ModelNumber
#
SSSSSSSS
, where:
ModelNumber
is the instrument's model number, and #
SSSSSSSS
is the instrument's eight-digit serial number. You
can change it to a value that makes sense for your system. Setting this attribute to an empty string (in
other words, setting this attribute to a string of length zero, or one consisting entirely of whitespace
characters) will revert the description to the factory default value.
When using this command from a remote node,
localnode
should be replaced with the node
reference, for example
node[5].description
.
Example
description = "System in Lab 05"
localnode.description = description
Set
description
to "System in Lab 05".
