An attempted TSP-Link reset operation 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 instrument performing the reset (only if the
expected number of nodes was not provided in the reset call)
• One or more of the instruments in the system is turned off
• If the actual number of nodes is less than the expected number
The programming example below illustrates a TSP-Link reset operation and displays its state:
tsplink.reset()
print(tsplink.state)
If the reset operation is successful, online is output to indicate that communications with all nodes
have been established.

Accessing nodes
You can access all the remote commands for a specific node by adding node[N]. to the beginning
of the remote command, where N is the node number.
The variable localnode is an alias for node[N], where N is the node number of the node on which
the code is running. For example, if node 1 is running the code, localnode can be used instead of
node[1].
The following programming examples illustrate how to access instruments in the TSP-Link system
(shown in TSP-Link connections):
• You can use any one of the following three commands to reset all channels of node 1 (which, in
this example, is the master). The other nodes in the system are not affected.
channel.reset("allslots")
localnode.channel.reset("allslots")
node[1].channel.reset("allslots")
