Details
This command connects a device to another device through the LAN interface. If the portNumber is 23, the
interface uses the Telnet protocol and sets appropriate termination characters to communicate with the device.
If a portNumber and initString are provided, it is assumed that the remote device is not TSP-enabled. The
Series 2600B does not perform any extra processing, prompt handling, error handling, or sending of commands.
In addition, the tspnet.tsp.* commands cannot be used on devices that are not TSP-enabled.
If neither a portNumber nor an initString is provided, the remote device is assumed to be a Keithley
Instruments TSP-enabled device. Depending on the state of the tspnet.tsp.abortonconnect attribute, the
Series 2600B sends an abort command to the remote device on connection.
The Series 2600B also enables TSP prompts on the remote device and error management. The Series 2600B
places remote errors from the TSP-enabled device in its own error queue and prefaces these errors with Remote
Error, followed by an error description.
Do not manually change either the prompt functionality (localnode.prompts) or show errors by changing
localnode.showerrors on the remote TSP-enabled device. If you do this, subsequent tspnet.tsp.*
commands using the connection may fail.
You can simultaneously connect to a maximum of 32 remote devices.
