), (
@ccnn,ccnn
),
(
@ccnn:ccnn
) or (
@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn
) where
cc
= card number (00-99)
and
nn
= channel number (00-15).

Opening Channels - relay and FET: To open:
–
a single channel, use
OPEN
(
@ccnn
);
–
for multiple channels, use
OPEN
(
@ccnn,ccnn
);
–
sequential channels, use
OPEN
(
@ccnn:ccnn
);
–
a group of sequential channels, use
OPEN
(
@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn
);
–
or any combination.
Opening order for multiple channels with a single command is not
guaranteed.

Opening the AT, BT, AT2, and RT Tree Switches - relay
multiplexers: Use channel numbers 90, 91, 92, and 93 to open the
AT, BT, AT2, and RT tree switches, respectively.
