[ROUTe:]OPEN
[ROUTe:]OPEN <channel_list>
opens the multiplexer channels specified in the
<channel_list>. The <channel_list> is in the form (@ccnn), (@ccnn,ccnn), or
(@ccnn:ccnn) where cc = card number (00-99) and
nn = channel number (00-63, 90-94 and 99). Channel numbers 95, 96, 97 and 98 will
generate an error.
Parameters
Comments
Using Upper Range 99 in the Channel List:
Specifying the last channel as 99 (such as
@100:199) automatically opens all channels on the card number specified by cc,
including tree relays 90 through 94.
Opening Channels:
To open:
•
a single channel use ROUT:OPEN (@ccnn)
•
multiple channels use ROUT:OPEN (@ccnn,ccnn,...)
•
sequential channels use ROUT:OPEN (@ccnn:ccnn)
•
groups of sequential channels use ROUT:OPEN (@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn)
or any combination of the above.
Opening Order is not Guaranteed:
Opening order for multiple channels with a single
command is not guaranteed. A list of channels will not all open simultaneously. Use
sequential OPEN commands if needed.
Opening the VSA, VSB, CS, RTA and RTB Tree Relays:
Use channel numbers 90, 91,
92, 93 and 94 to open the VSA (ch 90), VSB (ch 91), CS (ch 92), RTA (ch 93) and
RTB (ch94) Tree Relays. See [ROUTe:]CLOSe for a table describing these
channels.
