tsplink.readbit()
This function reads the state of a TSP-Link synchronization line. This function is not available on the Models
2604B/2614B/2634B.
Type
TSP-Link accessible
Function
Yes
Usage
data = tsplink.readbit(N)
data
N
Details
Returns a value of zero (0) if the line is low and 1 if the line is high.
Example
data = tsplink.readbit(3)
print(data)

tsplink.writebit()
tsplink.readport()
This function reads the TSP-Link synchronization lines as a digital I/O port. This function is not available on the
Models 2604B/2614B/2634B.
Type
TSP-Link accessible
Function
Yes
Usage
data = tsplink.readport()
data
Details
The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates the input pattern on the I/O port. The least significant bit of
the binary number corresponds to line 1 and the value of bit 3 corresponds to line 3. For example, a returned
value of 2 has a binary equivalent of 010. This indicates that line 2 is high (1), and that the other two lines are low
(0).
