tsplink function and attributes
The function and attributes in this group are used to assign node numbers to Series 2600
instruments and initialize the TSP-Link system.
tsplink.node
Attribute TSP-Link node number.
Usage
mynode = tsplink.node -- Reads the node number.
tsplink.node = mynode -- Writes the node number.
mynode Set node number from 1 to 64.
Remarks
• This attribute sets the TSP-Link node number and saves the value in non-volatile
memory.
• After changing the node number, it will not take effect until the next time
tsplink.reset is executed on any node in the system.
• Each node connected to the TSP-Link must be assigned a different node number.
Details See Section 9 (system expansion).
Also see tsplink.reset, tsplink.state
Example
Sets the TSP-Link node to number 2:
tsplink.node = 2
tsplink.reset
Function Initializes (resets) all nodes (instruments) in the TSP-Link system.
Usage
tsplink.reset()
Remarks
This function will erase all knowledge of other nodes connected on the TSP-Link and
will regenerate the system configuration. This function must be called at least once
before any remote nodes can be accessed. If the node number for any instrument is
changed, the TSP-Link must again be initialized.
Details See Section 9 (system expansion).
