Command name and summary table
Each instrument command description starts with the command name, followed by a table with
relevant information for each command. Definitions for the numbered items in the figure below are
listed following the figure.
Figure 104: Command name and summary table
1. Instrument command name. Signals the beginning of the command description and is followed
by a brief description of what the command does.
2. Type of command. Options are:
• Function. Function-based commands control actions or activities, but are not always directly related to
instrument operation. Function names are always followed by a set of parentheses, for example,
digio.writeport(15). If the function does not need a parameter, the parentheses set remains
empty, for example, exit().
• Attribute (R), (RW), or (W). Attribute-based commands set or read the characteristics of an instrument
feature or operation by defining a value. For example, a characteristic of a TSP-enabled instrument is
the model number (localnode.model); another characteristic is the number of errors in the error
queue (errorqueue.count). For many attributes, the defined value is a number or predefined
constant. Attributes can be read-only (R), read-write (RW), or write-only (W), and can be used as a
parameter of a function or assigned to another variable.
• Constant. A constant command represents a fixed value when used in a script.
3. TSP-Link accessible. Yes or No; indicates whether or not the command can accessed through a
TSP-Link network.
4. Affected by. Commands or actions that have a direct effect on the instrument command.
• LAN restore defaults
• Recall setup
• Instrument reset: An instrument reset can be invoked by reset(), localnode.reset(), or *RST.
5. Where saved. Indicates where the command settings reside once they are used on an
instrument. Options include:
• Not saved: Command is not saved anywhere and must be typed each time you use it.
• Nonvolatile memory: Storage area in the instrument where information is saved when the instrument
is turned off.
• Saved setup
6. Default value: Lists the default value or constant for the command. The parameter values are
defined in the Usage or Details sections of the command description.
