VX4101A MultiPaq Instrument User Manual
A module_name is an ASCII string that has been associated with a relay module
in a ROUTe:MODule:DEFine command. A channel_range may consist of a
single <channel_spec> or a range of <channel_spec>s. A range of <chan-
nel_spec>s is indicated by two <channel_spec>s separated by a colon (:)
character. A <channel_spec> may have one, two or three dimensions depending
on the architecture of the relay module it applies to.
The following are examples of valid <channel_list>s for Tektronix VX4320,
VX4330, VX4350, and VX4380 relay modules. In these examples it is assumed
that the Option 01 is installed on a VX4320 Module. A VX4330, VX4350, and
VX4380 are installed in consecutive slots to the right of the VX4320. The
default module names for the VX4320, VX4330, VX4350, and VX4380 in this
example are m1, m2, m3, and m4 respectively. These module names may be
overridden by specifying new module names with the [ROUTe:]MODule[DE-
Fine] command. It is also assumed in these examples that all sections on the
VX4330 Module have been configured as 10-to-1 4-wire scanners.
