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.
