Remote TSP-Link synchronization line commands
Commands that control and access the TSP-Link synchronization port are summarized in Table 8-
4. See Section 19 for complete details on these commands. See Table 8-3 for the decimal and
hexadecimal values used to control and access the digital I/O port and individual lines.
Use the commands in Table 8-4 to perform basic steady-state digital I/O operations, for example,
you can program the Series 2600A to read and write to a specific TSP-Link synchronization line or
to the entire port.
NOTE The TSP-Link synchronization lines can be used for both input and
output. You must write a 1 to all TSP-Link synchronization lines that
are used as inputs.

Remote synchronization line commands
Programming example
The commands below set bit 1 of the I/O port high, and then read the entire port value.
tsplink.trigger[1].mode = tsplink.TRIG_BYPASS
-- Set bit 1 high.
tsplink.writebit(1,1)
-- Read I/O port.
data = tsplink.readport()
