TSP-Net

Overview

TM

TSP-Net

allows the Model 707B or 708B to control Ethernet-enabled devices directly through its
LAN port. This enables the Model 707B or 708B to communicate directly with a device that is not
®
TSP -enabled without the use of a controlling computer.

TSP-Net Capabilities

For both TSP and non-TSP devices, the TSP-Net library permits the Model 707B or 708B to control a
remote device through the LAN port. Using TSP-Net methods, you can transfer string data to and
from a remote device, transfer and format data into Lua variables, and clear input buffers. TSP-Net is
only accessible using ICL commands from a remote command interface and is not available from the
front panel.
You can use TSP-Net to communicate with any Ethernet-enabled device. However, specific TSP-Net
commands exist for TSP-enabled devices to allow for support of features unique to TSP. These
features include script downloads, reading buffer access, wait completion, and handling of TSP
prompts.
Using TSP-Net with TSP-enabled instruments, a Model 707B or 708B can download a script to
another TSP-enabled device and have both devices run scripts independently. The Model 707B or
708B can read the data from the remote device and either manipulate the data or send the data to a
different remote device on the LAN. You can simultaneously connect to a maximum of 32 devices
using standard TCP/IP networking techniques through the LAN port of the Model 707B or 708B.
