format string is specified, the command waits for a response from the remote instrument. The Model 2651A
decodes the response message according to the format specified in the format string and returns this as return
values from the function (see
When this command is sent to a TSP-enabled instrument, the Model 2651A suspends operation until a timeout
error is generated or until the instrument responds, even if no format string is specified. The TSP prompt from the
remote instrument is read and thrown away. The Model 2651A places any remotely-generated errors into its
error queue. When the optional format string is not specified, this command is equivalent to tspnet.write(),
except that a termination is automatically added to the end of the command.
Example 1
tspnet.execute(myID, "runScript()")
Example 2
