Getting Started 15
Chapter 1
Channel Numbers
The channel numbers are 00-03, 10-13, 20-23, 30-33, 40-43, and 50-53.
The channel is addressed using channel numbers. Use commas (,) to form
a channel list. Only valid channels can be accessed in a channel list.
NOTE
The RF Multiplexer will accept and execute channel ranges
(ccmmnn:ccmmnn) without generating an error, but the result is to close
the last channel in each bank within the range specified. For example,
after CLOSe (@010101:010151) is executed, card 01, module 01 channels
03, 13, 23, 33, 43, and 51 would remain closed.
Example: RF Multiplexer Channel List
Channel Lists:
CLOSe (@10001)
Connect channel 01 to COM
00 on the RF Multiplexer
module, card 01.
CLOSe (@10101,20101)
Connect channel 01 to COM
00 on the Expander #1
module, cards 01 and 02.
SCPI Command Format
You can send SCPI commands in either short or long form. A long form
example is:
CLOSe (@10102)
The same command shown without the lower case letters is the short form.
The command then becomes:
CLOS (@10102)
Some commands are shown with brackets ([ ]). These are implied or
optional commands you do not have to execute. For example, the
ROUTe
command is an implied command and is shown as:
[ROUT:]CLOS (@10102)
Thus, to execute these commands, enter:
CLOS (@10102)
See Chapter 3 for more information about SCPI commands and how to send
them.
