Agilent Technologies E1470A user manual ROUTePATHCOMMon

Page 33

[ROUTe:]

The ROUTe subsystem automatically connects a specified channel to a specified COMMon terminal on the module.

Subsystem Syntax [ROUTe:]

PATH[:COMMon] <comm>,<channel>

PATH[:COMMon]? <comm>,<channel>

[ROUTe:]PATH[:COMMon]

[ROUTe:]PATH[:COMMon]<comm>,<channel> closes the E1470A path specified by <comm> and <channel>. <comm> is a 2-digit number and <channel> is a 3-digit number. Leading zeros may be omitted.

Parameters

Name	Type	Range of Values

<comm>	numeric	00-05, 10-13, 20-25, 30-33

<channel>	numeric	000-002, 010-012, 020-022, 030-032, 040-042,
		050-052, 100-102, 110-112, 120-122, 130-132,
		200-202, 210-212, 220-222, 230-232, 240-242,
		250-252, 300-302, 310-312, 320-322, 330-332

Comments Addressing Signal Paths. A signal path connects a <channel> terminal to

aCOM terminal (specified by <comm>. PATH <comm>,<channel> closes a single path. For multiple paths, use multiple linked commands: PATH <comm>,<channel>;:PATH <comm>,<channel>; etc.

Closing may Open Other Paths. Closing one path may open another path if both paths use the same relays. See Chapter 1 to determine if this might happen. Use [ROUTe:]PATH? to determine if a path is closed.

Invalid Values. Invalid <comm> and <channel> values or combinations may cause one of the following errors:

2001, “Invalid channel number” for invalid channel< >

2023, “Invalid common bank number” for invalid comm< >.

2024, “Invalid source bank number” for invalid channel< >

2025, “Invalid common-source combination” for invalid combination of <comm> and <channel> parameters.

*RST Condition. Channel bb0 connects to COM bb for all 3-to-1 multiplexer banks. This is equivalent to PATH bb,bb0 (where bb is the <comm> number).
