Agilent E8462A Relay Multiplexer Command Reference
91
[ROUTe:]FUNC
opens relays:
Sending the
ROUT:FUNC
command will
automatically open all relays on the card.
[ROUTe:]FUNC
automatically closes tree relays:
Sending the
ROUT:FUNC
command will cause all appropriate control relays to be automatically closed or
opened during subsequent
CLOSe, OPEN
or
SCAN
operations. The user does not
have to manually set the control relays.
[ROUTe:]FUNC
command required before
CLOSe
or
OPEN
:
The
ROUT:FUNC
command is required before the CLOSe or OPEN commands
because the FUNCtion command defines which tree relays are required for a channel
closure or opening.
One-Wire Modes (WIRE1, WIRE1X2, WIRE1X4 and WIRE1X8):
One-wire by 1 MUX, 2 MUXs, 4 MUXs or 8 MUXs. The E8462A uses double- pole
relays and a control relay is used to obtain one-wire capability. A different channel
will appear if you change the position of the control relay. Only one channel per
MUX can be closed at any time in the WIRE1 modes due to the need of the control
relay to choose the “side” for connection to the common terminal. For example, in
the WIRE1 mode (one 1X256), the control relay chooses either Ter0 or Ter1 for
connection to the one-wire common terminal (Ter0). Do not make any field
connection to the odd numbered common terminals (e.g., Ter1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 or
15) because these connectors do get routed to the channels by the control relay.
Two-Wire Modes (WIRE2, WIRE2X2, WIRE2X4 and WIRE2X8):
Two-wire by 1 MUX, 2 MUXs, 4 MUXs or 8 MUXs. A pair of wires is connected
to the common terminal pair by closing a double-pole relay. A single channel
closure will connect both wires.
Three-Wire Modes (WIRE3):
The three-wire mode is identical to WIRE4, except that SCAN:MODE FRES is not
available and Analog H2 is not connected during SCAN operations.
Four-Wire Modes (WIRE4, WIRE4X2, WIRE4X4):
Four-wire by 1 MUX, 2 MUXs, or 4 MUXs. This mode pairs relay banks to provide
four wires at the common terminals. You only need to list a single channel number
in OPEN, CLOSE or SCAN channel lists to affect all four wires.
User-Defined Mode (NONE):
The user has complete control of all channels AND tree and control relays in this
mode. The user is responsible for closing the appropriate tree relays and control
relays to make connections to the common terminals (Ter0 - Ter15). This mode
allows the user to configure the module with a mixture of 1-wire, 2-wire and 4-wire
MUXs. The channel list is of the form ccb0cc, where cc is the card number (1-99),
b is the bank number (0-7) and cc is the relay number within the bank (0-15). You
must close both relays if you are trying to create 4-wire configurations in this mode.
You must also send commands to control the control relays C100 - C107 if you are
trying to create 1-wire configurations. SCAN operations with anything but a 2-wire
configuration are not possible in this mode because the Agilent E8462A would not
know which relays to pair or which Cx control relay to close for a user-defined
4-wire or 1-wire configuration.
