Model 2657A High Power System SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual Section 7: TSP command reference

Details
This function sets and gets the termination character sequence that is used to indicate the end of a line for a
TSP-Net connection.
Using the termSequence parameter sets the termination sequence. The present termination sequence is
always returned.
For the termSequence parameter, use the same values listed in the table above for type. There are four
possible combinations, all of which are made up of line feeds (LF or 0x10) and carriage returns (CR or 0x13). For
TSP-enabled devices, the default is tspnet.TERM_LF. For devices that are not TSP-enabled, the default is
tspnet.TERM_CRLF.
Example
deviceID = tspnet.connect("192.0.2.1")
if deviceID then
tspnet.termination(deviceID,
tspnet.TERM_LF)
end
Sets termination type for IP address
192.0.2.1 to TERM_LF.
