Details
This command sends commandString to the remote device connection represented by connectionID. The
configured termination sequence is added to commandString when it is sent to the device
(tspnet.termination()). When formatString is specified, the command waits for a return string from the
device. The Model 707B or 708B decodes the output string according to the format specified in formatString
and returns this output string as arguments from the function.
When this command is sent to a TSP-enabled device, the Model 707B or 708B blocks operation until the device
responds or until a timeout error is generated. The TSP prompt from the remote device is read and thrown away.
The Model 707B or 708B places any remotely generated errors into its error queue. When the optional
formatString is not specified, this command is equivalent to tspnet.write(), except that a termination is
automatically added to the end of the line.
Example 1
tspnet.execute(myID, "runScript()")
Example 2
tspnet.termination(myID, tspnet.TERM_CRLF)
tspnet.execute(myID, "*idn?")
print("tspnet.execute returns:",
tspnet.read(myID))
