Path names may also be used in defining an “Include List”, an
“Exclude List”, or a “Scan List”. The following sections describe
each of these concepts.
When using path names with the “Include List”, “Exclude List” and
“Scan List”, the presently defined path is used. That is, if the
following sequence of commands is received:
PATH:DEF PATH1,(@1(3,7))
INCLUDE
(@PATH1,1(0))
PATH:DEF
PATH1,(@1(17,23))
CLOSE
(@1(0))
then the path definition in effect when the INCLUDE command was
defined is used. For the example shown then, channel 0 on
module 5 and channel 0 on module 7 are affected; channel 17 on
module 6 and channel 23 on module 8 are NOT affected.
Removing Path Names
The PATH:DELETE command may be used to delete a single path
name from the list of known path names. The PATH:DELETE:ALL
command may be used to remove all presently defined path
names.
The syntax for these commands is:
[:ROUTe]
:PATH
:DELete
<path
name>
:ALL
The following examples illustrate the use of this command.
Removes the name “path1”:
ROUTE:PATH path1
Removes the name “testit”:
PATH:DEL testit
Removes all path names:
PATH:DEL:ALL
Reading the Presently
Defined Path Names
The PATH:CATALOG? command may be used to read back all of
the presently defined path names. The format for this command is:
