To assign a node number using a remote command:
Set the tsplink.node attribute of the instrument:
tsplink.node = N
Where: N = 1 to 64
To determine the node number of an instrument, you can read the tsplink.node attribute by
sending the following command:
print(tsplink.node)
The above print command outputs the node number. For example, if the node number is 1, a 1 is
displayed.

Resetting the TSP-Link network

After all the node numbers are set, you must initialize the system by performing a TSP-Link
reset.
If you change the system configuration after initialization, you must reinitialize the system by
performing a TSP-Link network reset. Changes that require that you reinitialize the TSP-Link network
include turning off power or rebooting any instrument in the system, or rearranging or disconnecting
the TSP-Link cable connections between instruments.
