SCPI Commands for the SurePatht Modules

VX4101A MultiPaq Instrument User Manual
[ROUTe:]CLOSe <channel_list>
The following sequence of commands illustrates the operation of sections that
have been assigned a close mode of mux. The VX4330 in these examples has
been assigned a module name of m1.
Command Response
output:ttltrg7:State on Enable VXI TTL trigger 7
route:close:Dwell m1,.5 Assign a close dwell of 0.5 seconds to the scanner
route:close:mode
mux,m1,(1:3)
Set the close mode of sections 1 through 3 of the scanner with
module name “m1” to “mux”. Open all channels in sections 1
through 3
route:close
(@m1(1!1:10!1,1!2:5!2,5!3:10!
3))
Close channels 1 through 10 in section 1, channels 1 through 5
in section 2 and channels 5 through 10 in section 3. After these
relays are closed, wait 0.5 seconds then pulse VXI TTL trigger
7 and pulse the front panel encode signals corresponding to
sections 1, 2, and 3
If the close mode of a section has been set to scan, then a [ROUTe:]CLOSE
command will open all relays in that section before the channel specified in the
<channel_list> is closed. Only one channel at a time is closed in a section that
has been assigned a close mode of scan. Also, if two or more sections that have
been assigned a close mode of scan are joined with the [ROUT:]CONFigure:
JOIN command, only one channel in that group of sections will be closed at a
time. When a channel in one of these sections is specified in a [ROUTe:] CLOSe
command, all channels in all of the joined sections will be opened before the
specified channel is closed.
The following sequence of commands illustrates the interaction between the
[ROUTe:]CLOSe, [ROUTe:]CLOSe:MODE and [ROUTe:]CONFigure:JOIN
commands. The SurePatht Module in these commands has been assigned
module name m1.
Command/Query Response/Description
output:ttltrg7:State on Enable VXI TTL trigger 7
close:Dwell m1, .5 Assign a close dwell time of 0.5 seconds to the scanner
open:dwell m1, .2 Assign an open dwell time of 0.2 seconds to the scanner
route:close:mode
scan,m1,(1:6)
Set the close mode of all sections of the scanner to scan.
Open all channels in all six sections of this module
route:configure:join m1,(1:6) Join the commons of all six sections of the scanner
