OPEN? [ROUTe:]OPEN? <channel_list> returns the current state of the channel(s) queried. The channel_list is in the form (@ccnn). The command returns 1 if the channel is open or returns 0 if the channel is closed.

Comments ∙ Query is Software Readback: The [ROUTe:]OPEN? command returns the current software state of the channels specified. It does not account for relay hardware failures. A maximum of 127 channels at a time can be queried for a multi-module switchbox.

Example Query Channel Open State

This example opens channels 100 and 202 of a two-module switchbox (card numbers 01 and 02) and queries channel state. Since the channels are programmed to be open 1,1 is returned.

OPEN	(@100,202)	100 opens channel 00 of card #1;
		202 opens channel 02 of card #2.
OPEN?	(@202)	Query channel 02 of card #2.

SCAN [ROUTe:]SCAN <channel_list> defines the channels to be scanned. The channel_list is in the form (@ccnn) where cc = card number (00-99) and nn = channel number (00-04).

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Value

channel_list	numeric	cc00 - cc04	N/A

Comments ∙ Defining the Scan List: When executing [ROUTe:]SCAN, the channel list is checked for valid card and channel numbers. An error is generated for an invalid channel list.

∙Scanning Channels: To scan:

–a single channel, use [ROUTe:]SCAN (@ccnn);

–for multiple channels, use [ROUTe:]SCAN (@ccnn,ccnn,… );

–sequential channels, use [ROUTe:]SCAN (@ccnn:ccnn);

–a group of sequential channels, use

[ROUTe:]SCAN (@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn);

–or any combination.

∙Scanning Operation: With a valid channel list, INITiate[:IMMediate] starts the scanning cycle and closes the first channel in the channel list. Successive triggers from the source specified by TRIGger:SOURce advances the scan through the channel list.

∙Stopping Scan: See the ABORt command.

∙Related Commands: TRIGger, TRIGger:SOURce

∙*RST Condition: All channels open.
