Keithley 2461 Reference Manual

Model 2461
Interactive SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual Section 8:
TSP command reference
2461-901-01 A/November 2015 8-93
Details
TSP-enabled instruments do not have inherent query commands. Like any other scripting
environment, the print() command and other related print() commands generate output. The
print() command creates one response message.
The output from multiple arguments is separated with a tab character.
Numbers are printed using the format.asciiprecision attribute. If you want use Lua formatting,
print the return value from the tostring() function.
Example 1
x = 10
print(x)
Example of an output response message:
1.00000e+01
Note that your output might be different if you set
your ASCII precision setting to a different value.
Example 2
x = true
print(tostring(x))
Example of an output response message:
true

format.asciiprecision (on page 8-77)
printbuffer()
This function prints data from tables or reading buffer subtables.
Type TSP-Link accessible

Usage
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, bufferVar2)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, ..., bufferVarN)
startIndex
Beginning index of the buffer to print; this must be more than one
and less than endIndex
endIndex
Ending index of the buffer to print; this must be more than
startIndex and less than the index of the last entry in the
tables
bufferVar
Name of first table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a
default buffer (defbuffer1 or defbuffer2) or a user-defined
buffer
bufferVar2
Second table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a default
buffer (defbuffer1 or defbuffer2) or a user-defined buffer
bufferVarN
The last table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a default
buffer (defbuffer1 or defbuffer2) or a user-defined buffer
...
One or more tables or reading buffer subtables separated with
commas
