Command name and standard parameters summary
Each instrument command description starts with the command name, followed by a table with
relevant information for each command. Definitions for the numbered items in the figure below are
listed following the figure.
Figure 138: Command name and summary table
1. Instrument command name. Signals the beginning of the command description and is followed
by a brief description of what the command does.
2. Type of command. Options are:
â–ª Function. Function-based commands control actions or activities, but are not always directly related to
instrument operation. Function names are always followed by a set of parentheses, for example,
digio.writeport(15). If the function does not need a parameter, the parentheses set remains
empty, for example, exit().
â–ª Attribute (R), (RW), or (W). Attribute-based commands set or read the characteristics of an instrument
feature or operation by defining a value. For example, a characteristic of a TSP-enabled instrument is
the model number (localnode.model); another characteristic is the number of errors in the error
queue (errorqueue.count). For many attributes, the defined value is a number or predefined
constant. Attributes can be read-only (R), read-write (RW), or write-only (W), and can be used as a
parameter of a function or assigned to another variable.
â–ª Constant. A constant command represents a fixed value when used in a script.
3. TSP-Link accessible. Yes or No; indicates whether or not the command can accessed through a
TSP-Link network.
4. Affected by. Commands or actions that have a direct effect on the instrument command.
â–ª DMM configuration recall
â–ª DMM function change
â–ª DMM reset
â–ª LAN reset
â–ª Recall setup
â–ª Reset: Reset commands affect commands in different ways, depending on the type of reset. Types of
reset include:
