Resetting the TSP-Link
After all the node numbers are set, you must initialize the system by performing a TSP-Link reset.
For initialization to succeed, all units must be powered on when the TSP-Link reset is performed.
NOTE If you change the system topology after initialization, you must
re-initialize the system by performing a TSP-Link reset. Changes that
affect the system topology include:
Powering down or rebooting any unit in the system.
Rearranging or disconnecting the LAN cable connections between
units.
Front panel operation
Complete the following steps to reset the TSP-Link network from the front panel.
1. Press Menu > TSPLINK.
2. Press RESET.
Remote programming
The commands associated with TSP-Link reset are listed in Table 9-1.
Table 9-1
TSP-Link reset commands
Command Description
tsplink.reset() Initializes the TSP-Link network.
tsplink.state Returns online if the most recent TSP-Link reset was
successful. Returns offline if the reset failed.
An attempted TSP-Link reset will fail if any of the following conditions are true:
• Two or more instruments in the system have the same node number.
• There are no other instruments connected to the unit performing the reset.
• One or more of the units in the system is not powered on.
Programming example – The following code will reset the TSP-Link and output its state:
tsplink.reset()
print(tsplink.state)
If the reset is successful, online will be returned to indicate that communications with all nodes
have been established.
