HP E1368A - Manual (Page 16)

The logical addresses noted in Figure 1-2 apply to modules installed in an
HP 75000 Series B Mainframe (HP Model Number E1300/E1301) or in a
mainframe with an HP E1405/E1406 Command Module. See the HP 75000
Series B Installation and Getting Started Guide or the appropriate HP
Command Module Manual for more information on switchboxes and logical
addressing.
Channel Numbers
The channel number identifies the channel within a module. The
Microwave Switch channel number depends on the module (HP E1368A
Microwave Switch or HP E1369A Microwave Switch Driver).
•
HP E1368A. Valid channel numbers are 00-04 (channels 03 and 04
are valid but not connected).
•
HP E1369A. Valid channel numbers are 00-04.
•
HP E1370A. Valid channel numbers are 00-04.
Channel Address
For the Microwave Switch Modules, the channel address (channel_list) is in
the form:
•
(@ccnn) for a single channel
•
(@ccnn, ccnn) for multiple channels
•
(@ccnn:ccnn) for sequential channels
•
(@ccnn:ccnn, ccnn:ccnn) for groups of sequential channels
•
or any combination of the above
where "cc" is the card number and "nn" is the channel number. For
example, command string to close channel 02 of card number 1 is:
CLOSe (@0102)
Since "cc" (the card number) must be sent, it becomes part of the channel
number. Also, you can ignore leading zeros in the card numbers. Thus, to
close channel 02, send "102" instead of "0102". To close the above channel,
execute:
CLOSe (@102)
