localnode.gettime()
This function retrieves the instrument date and time.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
localnode.gettime()
Details
The time is returned in UTC time. UTC time is specified as the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970,
UTC. You can use UTC time from a local time specification, or you can use UTC time from another
source (for example, your computer).
Example
print(os.date('%c', gettime()))
Example output:
Wed Mar 31 14:25:31 2010

localnode.internaltemp
This attribute returns the internal temperature of the instrument.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
temperature = localnode.internaltemp
The internal temperature of the instrument
Details
Returns the last recorded value of internal temperature of the instrument in Celsius (°C). The
instrument checks internal temperature when it updates references when autozero is on. Internal
temperature is not checked if autozero is set to off. It can also become stale when digitize
measurements are used or when measurements take a long time.
If the temperature changes more than ±5 °C, the instrument logs an event and displays a message
on the front panel that recommends that you perform auto calibration.
Example
print(localnode.internaltemp)
Returns the internal temperature of the instrument.
