[ROUTe:]

The [ROUTe:] subsystem controls switching and scanning operations for the multiplexer modules in a switchbox.

CLOSe

[ROUTe:]CLOSe <channel_list> closes multiplexer channels specified in the

 

channel list. The channel_list for CLOSe is in the form (@ccnn), or in special

 

circumstances, (@ccnn,ccnn), where cc = card number (00-99) and nn = channel

 

number (00-15). Before using the CLOSe command, you must specify the

 

SCAN:MODE and SCAN:PORT, as these commands determine what switches

 

will be closed for a given channel. You can only have one closed channel on a

 

card at a time. If you want to close a channel on two different cards in the same

 

VXIbus instrument (for example, 102,208) you can use (@ccnn,ccnn).

Comments

Specify SCAN:MODE and SCAN:PORT: Before using the CLOSe

 

command, specify the SCAN:MODE and SCAN:PORT.

Closing Channels: To close:

use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn) for a single channel;

use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn,ccnn) for single channels on different cards;

use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn,ccnn) for multiple channels;

use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn) for sequential channels;

use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn) for a group of sequential channels;

or any combination.

Closure order for multiple channels with a single command is not guaranteed.

Related Commands: [ROUTe:]OPEN, [ROUTe:]CLOSe?, [ROUTe:]SCAN:MODE, [ROUTe:]SCAN:PORT

*RST Condition: All multiplexer channels are open.
