net (TCP/IP) interface. Additionally, a touch sensitive display can be used for manual switch control.

Switch channels can be selected by pressing any input or output button. As shown in Figures 4 and 5,
selecting an input allows choosing either output or "OFF", selecting an input allows choosing any of

2.2 Operation using SCPI commands
Section 4 details all SCPI commands. The commands »:OUT«, »:OUTA« and »:OUTB« are used to
connect both or a single output to any of the twelve inputs. The commands expect the input number,
between one and twelve as parameters. Specifying zero will turn the respective output off.
The »:CNT?« command can be used to check the number of switching cycles for each RF relay.
