Using Test Script Builder (TSB)
Keithley Instruments Test Script Builder (TSB) is a software tool that simplifies building test scripts.
You can use TSB to perform the following operations:
• Send remote commands and Lua statements
• Receive responses (data) from commands and scripts
• Upgrade instrument firmware
• Create, manage, and run user scripts
• Debug scripts
• Import factory scripts to view or edit and convert to user scripts
The Keithley Instruments Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) scripting engine is a Lua interpreter. In
TSP-enabled instruments, the Lua programming language has been extended with Keithley-specific
instrument control commands. For more information about using the Lua scripting language with
Keithley TSP-enabled instruments, refer to the Fundamentals of programming for TSP (on
page 8-13).
Keithley has created a collection of remote commands specifically for use with Keithley TSP-enabled
instruments; for detailed information about those commands, refer to the "Command reference"
section of the documentation for your specific instrument. You can build scripts from a combination of
these commands and Lua programming statements. Scripts that you create are referred to as "user
scripts." Also, some TSP-enabled instruments include built-in factory scripts.
