Closing a Relay
In this procedure, you will assign a specific dwell to the scanner and set channels
to multiplex (mux). The “mux” mode allows you to close multiple relays (or
channels) at the same time. Perform the following procedure to close a relay with
the SurePathtmaster:
1. Select SurePath:
INSTrument:SELect SUREPATH
2. Enter the following command to assign the close dwell:
close:Dwell m1,.5
3. Enter the following command to set the close mode of specific sections of
the scanner matrix to “mux.”
close:mode mux,m1,(1:3)
4. Enter the following command to close a specific section of the matrix:
close(@m1(1!1:10!1,1!2:5!2,5!3:10!3))
This closes the following:
Channels 1-10 in section one
Channels 1-5 in section two
Channels 5-10 in section three
