∙Use CLOS <channel_list> to close coaxial switch channel(s), and OPEN <channel_list> to open coaxial switch channel(s). Refer to Figure
<channel_list> has the form (@ccnn) where cc = card number
This example illustrates closing and opening channel 00 in a HP E1368A Microwave Switch module. Figure
To close channel 00, execute:
CLOS (@100) |
