Channel Configuration Mode
The Agilent B2200 provides the two channel configuration modes, Normal and
Auto. The configuration mode defines the way to control multiple switch modules
installed in the mainframe.
Normal Each module is considered independently. So each module is
always a 12 output switching matrix.
The switch control functions need to be defined for each
module.
Auto Default mode at Power On or *RST command.
To use this mode, the same type of module must be installed in
the mainframe from slot number 1 continuously (slots 1 to 2; or
slots 1 to 3; or slots 1 to 4).
The installed modules are treated as one switching matrix. For
example, if the modules are installed in slots 1 to 3, the Agilent
B2200 works as a 36 output switching matrix.
The switch control functions are available for the switching
matrix.
