Query is Software Readback: The [ROUTe:]CLOSe? command
returns the current software state of the channel(s) specified. It does
not account for relay hardware failures. A maximum of 127
channels at a time can be queried for a multi-module switchbox.
Example Query Channel Closure
This example closes channels 100 and 213 of a two-module switchbox and
queries channel closure. Since the channels are programmed to be closed,
1,1 is returned as a string.
CLOS (@100,213) ! Close channels 100 and 213
CLOS? (@100,213) ! Query channels 100 and 213 state
OPEN
[ROUTe:]OPEN < channel_list > opens the RF multiplexer channels
specified by channel_list. The channel_list has the form (@ccnn) where
cc = card number (00-99) and nn = channel number (00-03 and 10-13).
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values
numeric cc00-cc03, cc10-cc13

Opening Channels: To open:
– a single channel, use [ROUTe:]OPEN (@ccnn)
– for multiple channels, use [ROUTe:]OPEN (@ccnn,ccnn)
– sequential channels, use [ROUTe:]OPEN (@ccnn:ccnn)
– groups of sequential channels, use
[ROUTe:]OPEN (@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn)
– or any combination.
Opening order for multiple channels with a single command is not
guaranteed.
