Using the reset() command

Most TSP-Link
affects the system as a whole by resetting all nodes to their default settings:
-- Reset all nodes in a TSP-Link system to their default state.
reset()
Using the reset() command in a TSP-Link network differs from using the tsplink.reset()
command. The tsplink.reset() command reinitializes the TSP-Link network and will turn off the
output of any TSP-linked instrument; it may change the state of individual nodes in the system.
Use node[N].reset() or localnode.reset() to reset only one of the nodes. The other nodes
are not affected. The following programming example shows this type of reset operation with code
that is run on node 1.
-- Reset node 1 only.
node[1].reset()
-- Reset the node you are connected to (in this case, node 1).
localnode.reset()
-- Reset node 4 only.
node[4].reset()
A TSP-Link
an entry in this table. Each entry is indexed by the node number of the instrument. The variable
node[N] (where N is the node number) is used to access any node in the system. For example, node
1 is represented as entry node[1] in the node table.
Each of these entries is a table holding all the remote commands shared by the corresponding
instrument. Source-measure unit (SMU) A on node 1, therefore, could be accessed as
node[1].smua.

Using the abort command

An abort command terminates an executing script and returns all nodes to local operation (REM
indicators turn off). This dissolves the master/subordinate relationships between nodes. To invoke an
abort operation, either send an abort command to a specific node or press the EXIT (LOCAL) key
on any node in the system.
You can also perform an abort operation by pressing the OUTPUT ON/OFF control on any node. The
results are the same as above, with the addition that all outputs in the system are turned off.
