Series 2600 System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual Section 2: TSP Programming
Running a TSP file
A TSP (.tsp) file does not have to be launched (loaded) into the Series 2600 in order to be run. The
code for a TSP file can simply be sent to the Series 2600 and executed. The TSP file will not
reside in the Series 2600 (it is not saved in volatile or non-volatile memory). A TSP file can be run
from the Project Navigator or from the toolbar at the top of Test Script Builder.
To run a TSP file from the Project Navigator, right-click the .tsp file name (e.g., main.tsp), select
Run in the mouse menu, and then click Run As TSP File in the submenu.
A TSP file can also be run from the TSB toolbar as explained in Figure 2-16.

A TSP file can also be run from the Menu icon on the Instrument Console toolbar. For details, see
“
Instrument Console icons” later in this section.
Retrieving scripts from the Series 2600
A user script or factory script can be retrieved from memory of the Series 2600. The retrieved
script folder will be placed in the Project Navigator with its script files opened.
Figure 2-17 explains how to import a script from the Series 2600. It assumes that communications
with the SourceMeter are already open. If communications are closed, a window will appear to
open communications during the import process.
A modified script can be loaded back into the Series 2600 as a user script using the same name or
a new name. An imported factory script can only be loaded back into the Series 2600 as a user
script.
