How do I set up the TSP-Link system?
Up to 32 TSP-Link enabled instruments (for example, Series 2600A System SourceMeter
TM
instruments) can be connected together to form a TSP-Link system.
Step 1: Connect the TSP-Link system
A connection example for an expanded system is shown in Figure 4-1. All the TSP-Link-enabled
instruments in the system are daisy-chained together using LAN crossover cables. In this
example, the unit connected to the PC is the Master and the other units are its Slaves. Note that
the Master does not have be assigned as Node 1, nor does it have to be at the end of the node
chain.

TSP-Link connections
Step 2: Assign node numbers
Each instrument in the TSP-Link system must have a unique node number assigned to it. The
node number for each instrument is stored in its nonvolatile memory and will not be lost when the
instrument is turned off.
Complete the following steps to assign a node number.
1. From the front panel, press the MENU > TSPLINK.
2. Select NODE and then use the navigation wheel to assign the node number.
Note: The node number can range from 1 - 64.
For remote programming, the tsplink.node attribute is used to set the node number for an
instrument:
tsplink.node = N
Where: N = 1 to 64. The node number of an instrument can be determined by reading the tsplink.node
attribute as follows:
nodenumber = tsplink.node
print(nodenumber)
The above print command will return the node number. For example, if the node number is 1, the
value
1.000000e00 will be returned.
