Comments ∙ Closing Channels: To close:

–a single channel, use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn)

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

–sequential channels, use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn)

–groups of sequential channels, use

[ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn)

–or any combination.

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

∙Related Commands: [ROUTe:]OPEN, [ROUTe:]CLOSe?

∙*RST Condition: All channels open.

Example Closing Multiplexer Channels

This example closes channels 100 and 213 of a two-module switchbox (card numbers 01 and 02).

CLOS (@100,213)

! Close channels 100 and 213.

 

100 closes channel 00 of card #1;

 

213 closes channel 13 of card #2
