Front-panel operation
To reset the TSP-Link
®
network from the front panel:
1. Power on all instruments connected to the TSP-Link network.
2. Press the MENU key, select TSPLINK, and then press the ENTER key.
3. Turn the navigation wheel to select RESET, and then press the ENTER key.
Remote programming
The commands associated with the TSP-Link
®
system reset are listed in the following table.
Reads the state of the TSP-Link network:
▪ “online” if the most recent TSP-Link reset was successful
▪ “offline” if the reset operation failed
An attempted TSP-Link reset operation fails if any of the following conditions are true:
• Two or more instruments in the system have the same node number
• There are no other instruments connected to the instrument performing the reset (only if the
expected number of nodes was not provided in the reset call)
• One or more of the instruments in the system is turned off
• If the actual number of nodes is less than the expected number
The programming example below illustrates a TSP-Link reset operation and displays its state:
tsplink.reset()
print(tsplink.state)
If the reset operation is successful, online is output to indicate that communications with all nodes
have been established.
Accessing nodes
A TSP-Link
®
reset command populates the node table. Each instrument in the system corresponds to
an entry in this table. Each entry is indexed by the node number of the instrument. The variable
node[N] (where N is the node number) is used to access any node in the system. For example,
node 1 is represented as entry node[1] in the node table.
You can access all the remote commands for a specific node by adding node[N]. to the beginning
of the remote command, where N is the node number. For example, to set the NPLC value for the
source-measure unit (SMU) A on node 1 to 0.1, you could send this command:
node[1].smua.measure.nplc = 0.1
