High Voltage SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual Section 14:
TSP command reference
2470-901-01 Rev. A / May 2019 14-275
Details
The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates the input pattern on the I/O port. The least
significant bit of the binary number corresponds to line 1 and the value of bit 3 corresponds to line 3.
For example, a returned value of 2 has a binary equivalent of 010. This indicates that line 2 is high
(1), and that the other two lines are low (0).
Example
data = tsplink.readport()
print(data)
Reads state of all three TSP-Link lines.
Assuming line 2 is set high, the output is:
2.000000e+00
(binary 010)
The format of the output may vary depending on the ASCII
precision setting.
