Details
TSP-enabled instruments do not have inherent query commands. Like other scripting environments,
the print() command and other related print() commands generate output. The print()
command creates one response message.
The output from multiple arguments is separated with a tab character.
Numbers are printed using the format.asciiprecision attribute. If you want use Lua formatting,
print the return value from the tostring() function.
Example 1
Example of an output response message:
10
Note that your output might be different if you set your ASCII precision setting to a different value.
x = true
print(tostring(x))
Example of an output response message:
true
