String parameters can contain virtually any set of

ASCII characters. A string begin and end with matching quotes; either with a single quote or with a double quote. You can include the quote delimiter as part of the string by typing it twice without any characters in between. The following command uses a string parameter:

DISPlay:TEXT <t”

>

 

Channel list parameters specify one or

more channel numbers on the module in the specified slot. The channel list must be preceded with the “ @ ” symbol and enclosed in parentheses.

The following command uses a xv

parameter:

ROUTe:CHANnel:DELay? (@<xt

>)

The following command configures a scan list to include only channel 10 on the module in slot 300.

ROUT:SCAN (@310)

 

∙ The following command configures a scan list to include multiple

5

channels on the module in slot 200. The scan list now contains only

channels 10, 12, and 15 (the scan list is redefined each time you send

anew ROUTe:SCAN command).

ROUT:SCAN (@210,212,215)

The following command configures a scan list to include a range of channels. When you specify a range of channels, the range may contain invalid channels (they are ignored), but the first and last channel in the range must be valid. The scan list now contains channels 5 through 10 (slot 100) and channel 15 (slot 200).
