Description

 

 

 

There is a list of relays considered unused or “not there” by the firmware.

 

Unused channels are not driven even if included in a channel list or path and

 

are not checked for proper sense line state and cannot generate errors.

 

Turning :DRIVE:OFF for a channel adds it to the Unused List.

 

 

NOTE

In systems without CMOS RAM it is necessary to execute a write to

 

EEROM to ensure that the DRIVe data will survive a power cycle. Refer to

 

the MEM:SAVE command.

 

 

 

Example Command

ROUTe:DRIVe:ON

(@101,103,105);

 

This command removes channels 1, 3, and 5 on card 1 from the Unused List.

 

ROUTE:DRIVE:OFF (@101,103,105);

This command adds channels 1, 3, and 5 on card 1 to the Unused List.

ROUTE:DRIVE:OFF ATTEN_14;

This command causes the set of relays (defined by the ROUTe:PATH command) with name ATTEN_14 to be added to Unused List.

If the path includes two channel lists, all relays in both lists are affected.

ROUTE:DRIVE:ON:ALL;

This turns drive on for all channels.

ROUTE:DRIVE:OFF:ALL;

Drive is turned off for all channels; that is, all channels are “unused”.
