SCPI Commands

SCPI Command Set

SCPI Command

Description

:ROUTe[1…n]:CLOSe

This command will park the indicated input to the off position.

:ROUTe[1..n]:OPEN

This command will open the selected input port, setting it back to the position it
had before being closed

:ROUTe[1..n]:OPEN:STATe?

This command will indicate if a requested input is optically open.

:ROUTe[1..n]:PATH:CATalog?

This command will return the dimensions of the switch(es) in use (ex. 8x1x4).

:ROUTe[1..n]:SCAN

This command will set the specified input channel to the specified output
channel.

:ROUTe[1..n]:SCAN?

Queries to which output channel the specified input channel is set.

:ROUTe:SCAN:ALL?

This command will return a list of all the output channels currently connected
to each input channel.

:ROUTe[1..n]:SCAN:NEXT

This command increments the output channel number to which the specified
input channel is connected.

:ROUTe:SCAN:OUT? n

This command will return the input channel for any given output,

‘n’.

:ROUTe[1..]:SCAN:PREV

This command decrements the output channel number to which the specified
input channel is connected.

:ROUTe[i]:SCAN:SYNChronous?

Always returns "ON".

:SNUMber?

Returns the module serial number.

:STATus?

Returns the module status string according to the IQS-9100 manual, page 87.
This will almost always be "READY".

:SYSTem:ERRor?

Error query

:SYSTem:VERSion?

QCT?

Query the total number of times that switch states have been recorded.

WEN n

This command will either enable or disable an auto-save switch state feature.
The default for this command is set to disabled.

WEN?

Query if the WEN command is enabled or disabled

WL n

Sets the wavelength of calibration.

WL n?

Quer

ies the value of ‘n’ used in the wavelength set command.

WL?

Queries the value of the variable ‘n’ used in the ‘WL n’ command. .

1. WL n, WL n?, WL? Commands are for matrix switches larger than 16x16
