TSP-Net
The TSP-Net
®
library allows the 2601B-PULSE to control LAN-enabled devices directly through its
LAN port. This enables the 2601B-PULSE to communicate directly with a device that is not TSP
®
enabled without the use of a controlling computer.
TSP-Net capabilities
The TSP-Net library permits the 2601B-PULSE to control a remote instrument through the LAN port
for both Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) and non-TSP instruments. Using TSP-Net library methods, you
can transfer string data to and from a remote instrument, transfer and format data into Lua variables,
and clear input buffers. The TSP-Net library is only accessible using commands from a remote
command interface.
You can use TSP-Net commands to communicate with any ethernet-enabled instrument. However,
specific TSP-Net commands exist for TSP-enabled instruments to allow for support of features unique
to the TSP scripting engine. These features include script downloads, reading buffer access, wait
completion, and handling of TSP scripting engine prompts.
Using TSP-Net commands with TSP-enabled instruments, a 2601B-PULSE can download a script to
another TSP-enabled instrument and have both instruments run scripts independently. The
2601B-PULSE can read the data from the remote instrument and either manipulate the data or send
the data to a different remote instrument on the LAN. You can simultaneously connect to a maximum
of 32 devices using standard TCP/IP networking techniques through the LAN port of
the 2601B-PULSE.
Using TSP-Net with any ethernet-enabled instrument
Refer to TSP command reference (on page 11-1) for details about the commands presented in
this section.
The 2601B-PULSE LAN port is auto-sensing (Auto-MDIX), so you can use either a LAN crossover
cable or a LAN straight-through cable to connect directly from the 2601B-PULSE to an ethernet
device or to a hub.
