Using Test Script Builder (TSB)
Keithley Instruments Test Script Builder (TSB) is a software tool that simplifies building test scripts.
You can use TSB to perform the following operations:
• Send remote commands and Lua statements
• Receive responses (data) from commands and scripts
• Upgrade instrument firmware
• Create, manage, and run user scripts
• Debug scripts
• Import factory scripts to view or edit and convert to user scripts
The Keithley Instruments Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) scripting engine is a Lua interpreter. In TSP-
enabled instruments, the Lua programming language has been extended with Keithley-specific
instrument control commands. For more information about using the Lua scripting language with
Keithley TSP-enabled instruments, refer to the Fundamentals of programming for TSP (on page 10-
15) section.
