Description

Each channel has a CLOSE or OPEN position. On Agilent relays, the CLOSE path is the path between the input terminal labeled 2 on the relay and the input terminal labeled C. It is recognized that CLOSE and OPEN are arbitrary for this type of switch; they are, however, in keeping with the SCPI language specification.

Example Command ROUTe:CLOSe (@101,2(0:5),3(1,3,5),406:410);

Sending the above command causes channel 1 on card 1, channels 0 through 5 on card 2, channels 1, 3 and 5 on card 3, and channels 6 through 10 on card 4 to be closed.

Channels must have DRIVe:ON to be closed or they will be ignored.

During any switching operation (OPEN or CLOSE) the settling bit in the OPER status register is set (1). It is cleared (0) when the operation completes.

Example Query ROUTE:CLOSE? (@101,103,105);

Sending the query (question mark) causes the channels in the channel list parameter to be checked for closed channels. The readback is a list of 1’s and 0’s separated by commas, one for each channel in the list. A 1 is sent if the specified channel is closed; otherwise a 0 is sent.

Devices for which sensing is on (VERify:ON)read back the position in which they were sensed the last time a switching operation took place.

Devices with sensing off simply read back the currently programmed state (which, if they haven’t been switched since power up, will be the state they were set to at power up). Devices with DRIVE:OFF read back the last value to which they were set.
