Details
You must enable the command lan.autoconnect before you can use this attribute.
The timeout value represents the amount of time that passes before the instrument disconnects from the LAN
due to the loss of the LAN link integrity.
The LAN interface does not disconnect if the connection to the LAN is reestablished before the timeout value
expires.
If the LAN link integrity is not restored before the timeout value expires, the instrument begins to monitor for a
new connection.
Example
print(lan.linktimeout)
Outputs the present LAN link timeout setting.
