Connections
Connections for an expanded system are shown in the following figure. As shown, one instrument is
optionally connected to the computer using the GPIB, LAN, USB, or RS-232 interface. Details about
these computer communication connections are described in Remote communications interfaces (on
page 2-11).
All the instruments in the system are connected in a sequence (daisy-chained) using LAN
crossover cables.

Initialization
Before a TSP-Link
®
system can be used, it must be initialized. For initialization to succeed, each
instrument in a TSP-Link system must be assigned a different node number.
Assigning node numbers
At the factory, each 2601B-PULSE instrument is assigned as node 1. The node number is stored in
nonvolatile memory and remains in storage when the instrument is turned off. You can assign a node
number to a 2601B-PULSE using the front panel or by using a remote command. Note that there can
only be 32 physical nodes, but you can assign node numbers from 1 to 64.
To assign a node number from the front panel of the instrument:
1. Press the MENU key, then select TSPLINK > NODE.
2. Press the navigation wheel and select the node number.
3. Press the ENTER key to save the number.
