Keithley 708B Reference Manual page 189

Section 5: Remote commands
Number of subordinates
The Model 707B or 708B can expand to other Keithley Instrument's products that have a TSP-Link
connector available. When the command listed in the following table is executed, it provides the
number of nodes present in the TSP-linked system.
A feature of the Model 707B or 708B is that these remote nodes are not limited to Model 707B or
708B instruments. They can be remotely linked to any Keithley product that supports TSP-Link. For
more information, see

The following command returns the model of the card in the specified slot of the local instrument,
along with a description of the card, the firmware version, and the serial number.
To get information from cards in TSP-Link connected instruments, send:
print(node[nodeNumber].slot[slotNumber].idn)
Where: nodeNumber is the TSP-Link node of the remote system and slotNumber is the slot on the
instrument to query. For more information, see

Relay test input
The Model 707B or 708B instrument does not use a relay test connector, so this command is not
supported.

Connect rules
On the Model 707B or 708B, this command sets the connect rules for the entire instrument. You
cannot set this rule on a row-by-row basis. If this feature is required, the high performance of the
Model 707B or 708B instrument provides ample time to change the connection rules as needed
before channel close or open operations. For more information, see
(on page 5-5).
