After a path name is defined, it only exists in the instruments internal memory. To
permanently store all defined path names in the instrument
’s compact flash memory,
use the command MMEMory:STORe:STATe.
The path name is limited to a string with a maximum of 49 characters.
The query of this command, ROUTe:PATH:DEFine? <path_name> returns information
about what conditions are defined for all relays and I/O channels that appear in the
<channel_list> associated with <path_name>.
The format of the returned information differs from the format of <channel_list>.
'<path_name>'
String parameter to specify the name of the path to be defined.
'<channel_list>'
List of relays and I/O channels and their condition to be set or
queried.
Example - Set
ROUT:PATH:DEF “config_01”,(@F01A11(0103))
Determines that path name “config_01” is equivalent to the
channel list (@F01A11(0103))
The command
ROUT:CLOS (@F01A11(0103))
now equals the command
ROUT:CLOS “config_01”
Both commands set relay 3 on module at position A11 in
R&S OSP instrument with ID F01 to condition 1.
Example - Query
ROUT:PATH:DEF? “config_01”
Response: 1100103
The first digit (1) represents the ID of the R&S OSP. Here: F01;
second digit (1) represents the module position in the R&S OSP.
Here: A11; third, fourth and fifth digits (001) represent the relay
condition. Here: Set relay to condition 1; sixth and seventh digits
represent the number of the relay (or channel) to be set. Here:
Relay number 3 is to be set.
If the queried path name comprises conditions for more than one
relay or channel, the returned information blocks are separated
by a comma.
Characteristics
Firmware version V1.1
