:RCOunt <clist>
Reset closure count for channels
Parameters
<clist> = (@ chanlist)
Where
chanlist
is the list of channels to be reset.
Description
This command is used to reset closure count in a <clist>. For example, to reset
the closure count values for channels 1 and 4, send:
:ROUT:CLOS:RCO (@1,4)
Query
No query form of this command exists.
:OPEN <clist>
Open channel(s)
Parameters
<clist> = (@ chanlist)
Where
chanlist
is the list of channels to be opened.
Description
Enter the list of channels to open in a <clist>. For example, if you want to open
channels 2 and 7, send:
:ROUT:OPEN (@2,7)
Query
No query form of this command exists.
:OPEN:ALL
Opens all channels
Description
Use this command to open all channels simultaneously.
Query
No query form of this command exists.
:CONfigure:CPOLe <clist>
Define relays present in system
Parameters
<clist> = (@ chanlist)
Where
chanlist
is the list of relay channels present in the system.
Description
This command is used to define which relays are present in the system as a
<clist>. This command need be used only if the system is being configured
differently from the factory-shipped relay configuration.
<clist> is defined as follows (where
0|3-6
means enter a 0 or a number between
3 and 6):
clist = (@0|3-6, 0|3-6, 0 |3-6, 0|3-6, 0|1, ... 0|1)
A
B
C
D
1...8
(
1...4
for S46L)
Note that all switch locations must be included in the <clist>. For example, if
RELAY A and RELAY B are SP6T, RELAY 1 and RELAY 2 are SPDTs, and all
others are not populated, the command syntax would be:
:ROUT:CONF:CPOL (@6,6,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0)
(for S46/S46T)
:ROUT:CONF:CPOL (@6,6,0,0,1,1,0,0)
(for S46L)
Some S46T relays require values other than the number of throws.
S46T-MSPDT-KIT and S46T-XFER-KIT are programmed with a value of 3. The
MSPDT top relay uses the first channel assignment for relays A through D; the
second channel controls the lower relay. The XFER relay uses the first channel
assignment for relays A through D. Terminated SP4T relays are programmed with
a value of 6. Ports 2, 3, 5, and 6 control channels are used.
Query
This query returns the relay configuration pole information with the form factor
defined above.
