7: TSP command reference Series 2600B System SourceMeter® Instrument
Reference Manual
7-166 2600BS-901-01 Rev. C / August 2016
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 are 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

buffer (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined buffer
bufferVarN
