Using the abort command
An abort command terminates an executing script and returns all nodes to local operation (REM
indicators turn off). This dissolves the master/subordinate relationships between nodes. To invoke an
abort operation, either send an abort command to a specific node or press the EXIT (LOCAL) key
on any node in the system.
You can also perform an abort operation by pressing the OUTPUT ON/OFF control on any node. The
results are the same as above, with the addition that all source-measure unit (SMU) outputs in the
system are turned off.
Triggering with TSP-Link
The TSP-Link
®
expansion interface has three trigger lines that function similarly to the digital I/O
synchronization lines. See Digital I/O (on page 4-38) and Triggering (on page 4-1) for
more information.
TSP advanced features
Use the Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) scripting engine's advanced features to:
• Run test scripts simultaneously
• Manage resources allocated to test scripts that are running simultaneously
• Use the data queue to facilitate real-time communication between nodes on the TSP-Link
®
network
When test scripts are run simultaneously, it improves functional testing, provides higher throughput,
and expands system flexibility.
There are two methods you can use to run test scripts simultaneously:
• Create multiple TSP-Link networks
• Use a single TSP-Link network with groups
The following figure displays the first method, which consists of multiple TSP-Link networks. Each
TSP-Link network has a master node and a remote connection to the computer.
