Remote Module Identifiers
A special channel numbering method exists for use with SCPI commands that
operate one or more banks of the remote module. This addressing uses a
non- existent channel number (00) to indicate the commands are useful for all
channel in a bank or all channels on a remote module. The format of this
special channel list is specified as:
1<rem><00>
where:
rem is the remote module being controlled, and is a single digit in the range
of 1 to 8.
channel is non- existent channel number 00 on the remote module.
You may not use this special channel list in a range of channels.
The following commands use this form of channel addressing. Refer to the
Programmer’s Reference Help file for more details.

Drive Modes
Each remote module can drive the switches and attenuators using either TTL
or open collector drive methods. The TTL drive mode uses a pull- down resistor
on the output and drives a TTL high level when asserted. The open collector
drive provides a current path to ground when asserted.
The drive mode is set on a per bank basis using the
ROUTe:RMODule:BANK:DRIVe:MODE command.
