Details
This command sends a command string to the remote instrument. A termination is added to the
command string when it is sent to the remote instrument (tspnet.termination()). You can also
specify a format string, which causes the command to wait 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 the message as return values from the function (see tspnet.read()
for format specifiers).
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. The TSP prompt from the remote
instrument is read and discarded. 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
