BBM: Breaks the previous connection and then makes the new
connection for the specified
outputs.
MBBR: Makes the new connection and then breaks the
previous conn
ection for the specified outputs.
Table 5-4 Relay Control Operations
Operation Description
Open All Opens all relays.
Switch Setup Makes the connection from the specified input port to the
specifi
ed output channels. Up to four output channels can be
specified at once.
Close Range Makes the connection from the specified input port to the
specifi
ed output channels. They are between two channels given
by the Outputs fields.
Open Output Opens the relays connected to the specified output
channels. Up
to four output channels can be specified at once.
Open Range Opens the relays connected to the specified outpu
t channels.
They are between two channels given by the Outputs fields.
Open Input Opens the relays connected to the specified input port.
