TSP-Link system
A test system can be expanded to include up to 64 TSP-Linked enabled
instruments. The system can be stand-alone or PC-based. Details on system
expansion using the TSP-Link are provided in
Stand-alone system – A script can be run from the front panel of any node
(instrument) in the system. When a script is run, all nodes in the system go into
remote operation (REM annunciators turn on). The node running the script
becomes the Master and can control all of the other nodes, which become its
Slaves. When the script is finished running, all the nodes in the system return to
local operation (REM annunciators turn off), and the Master/Slave relationship
between nodes is dissolved.
PC-based system – When using a PC, the GPIB or RS-232 interface to any
single node becomes the interface to the entire system. When a command is sent
via one of these interfaces, all nodes go into remote operation (REM annunciators
turn on).
The node that receives the command becomes the Master and can control all of
the other nodes, which become its Slaves. In a PC-based system, the Master/
Slave relationship between nodes can only be dissolved by performing an abort.
Cycling power for the instrument.
Pressing front panel LOCAL key (if it is not locked out).
Sending the abort command from the PC.
Clicking the Abort Execution icon on the toolbar of the Instrument Console
for Test Script Builder.
After a front panel script (FACTORY or USER test) is completed, the
instrument will return to the local state.
