[:ROUTe]
:PATH
:CATalog?
The reply to this command consists of the presently defined path
names, each of which is separated by a comma. Path names are
stored internally in upper-case characters by the 1257. These
upper-case names are returned in the reply.
For example, suppose the following commands have been
executed:
PATH:DEFINE dmm_2_pin1,(@1(117),1(17))
PATH:DEFINE
dmm_2_pin2,(@1(116),1(14),1(23))
PATH:DEFINE
cntr_2_pin1,(@1(217),1(24))
PATH:DEFINE
cntr_2_pin2,(@1(216),1(37),1(3))
Then the query:
PATH:CAT?
returns the reply:
DMM_2_PIN1,DMM_2_PIN2,CNTR_2_PIN1,
CNTR_2_PIN2
Reading the Channel List
for a Path Name
The module address associated with a module name may be read
using the PATH:DEFINE? query. The syntax for this
command is:
[:ROUTe]
:PATH
:DEFine? <path name>
Using the example in the previous section of this manual, the
query:
PATH:DEFINE? dmm_to_pin1
returns the reply:
(@1(117),1(17)
