Path Switching

●

For information on the concept of paths, see

Chapter 4.1, "How to Work with a

Switch Unit"

on page 147.

●

For information on how to define a path, see

●

or let the firmware help you modifying an existing path

loading it

The dialog in the "Path Switching" menu shows a list of all available switching paths:

Figure 5-28: Path Switching menu with list of paths

Path switching is disabled, when the

Trigger

is activated.

"PathA" in

Figure 5-28

is labeled as

"Switch-On Path"

. Hence, when you

switch on

the R&S

OSP, it tries to set all relays and output channels as specified in this path defi-

nition. To specify that a path is switched at startup, go to

"PathB" in

is labeled as "Currently Switched". The switched path is also

highlighted in blue.
