DISPlay:MONitor[:STATe]
DISPlay:MONitor[:STATe] <mode>
turns the monitor mode ON or OFF. When
monitor mode is on, the RS-232 terminal display presents an array of values
indicating the open/close state of every switch on the module. This display is
dynamically updated each time a switch is opened or closed.
Parameters
Comments
•
Monitoring Switchbox Channels: DISPlay:MONitor:STATe ON or
DISPlay:MONitor:STATe 1 turns the monitor mode ON to show the channel
state of the selected module.
DISPlay:MONitor:STATe OFF or DISPlay:MONitor:STATe 0 turns the
channel monitor OFF.
•
Typing in another command on the terminal will cause the
DISPlay:MONitor[:STATe] to automatically be set to OFF (0). NOTE: Use of
the OFF parameter is useful only if the command is issued across the GPIB
interface.
•
Selecting the Module to be Monitored: Use the DISPlay:MONitor:CARD
command to select the module.

Monitor Mode on an Agilent E1405/E1406 Command Module Display: The
display format for the E8462A 256-Channel Multiplexer is as follows:
WIRE1, WIRE1x2, WIRE1x4 and WIRE1x8 Displays
Closed channels are identified in each mux. A closed relay on each mux will be
displayed for all 1-wire modes (WIRE1, WIRE1x2, WIRE1x4 and WIRE1x8). The
indicator “---” will appear for a mux in which all relays are open. The mux display
values are followed by three hexidecimal displays which show the values of the two
Tree registers and the Analog Bus register. For example, assume FUNCtion is set to
WIRE1x2, all channels of MUX 0 are open and channel 5 of MUX 1 is closed (this
also closes tree relay T14 connecting channel 5 of MUX 1 to Terminal 8). The
display would be:
“Mux 0: --- Mux 1: 005 T0: #H4000 T1: #H0000 An: #H0000”
where the hexidecimal value 4000 in the Tree bank 0 register indicates
the T14 tree register is closed.
Modes other than WIRE1, WIRE1x2, WIRE1x4 and WIRE1x8
Closed channels are identified by displaying the Bank register values in hexidecimal
format with one value for each bank. The WIRE3, WIRE4, WIRE4x2 and WIRE4x4
modes will show only banks 0, 1, 4 and 5 because the other banks are paired with
these banks to configure 3- or 4-wire channels. The bank values are followed by
