DIAGnosticCLOSe | Agilent Technologies E1470A guide

DIAGnostic

The DIAGnostic subsystem contains instrument-specific commands is are not recommended for general programming. For the E1470A, the DIAG subsystem allows you to open/close individual relays and query individual relays.

Subsystem Syntax DIAGnostic

:CLOSe <relay>{,<relay> ...} :CLOSe? <relay>{,<relay>...} :OPEN <relay>{,<relay>...} :OPEN? <relay>{,<relay>...} :RELAY?

DIAGnostic:CLOSe

DIAGnostic:CLOSe <relay>{,<relay>...} closes individual relays on the E1470A. Since these are Form C relays, “closed” means the relay is “set” (COMMON to NO).

Comments	Invalid Values. Values other than those listed in the table cause error
	2022, “Invalid relay number”.
	Closing Relays. To close single relays, use DIAG:CLOS abc. To close
	multiple relays, use DIAG:CLOS abc,def,ghi,... etc.
	80 Relays Maximum. The E1470A has 80 relays. Setting more than 80
	relay numbers causes error: -108, “Parameter not allowed”.
Example	Closing Relays
	DIAG:CLOS001	!Closes relay 001 (connects
		!CH001 to relay 002 in bank 00)
