[ROUTe:]
The [ROUTe:] subsystem controls switching and scanning operations for the
multiplexer modules in a switchbox configuration.

CLOSe [ROUTe:]CLOSe <channel_list> closes multiplexer channels specified in
the channel list.
For the relay strain gage multiplexers, the channel_list for
CLOSe is in the
form (
@ccnn), (@ccnn,ccnn), or (@ccnn:ccnn) where cc = card number
(00-99) and
nn = channel number (00-15 - includes internal channels).
For the FET strain gage multiplexers, the channel_list for
CLOSe is in the
form (
@ccnn), or in special circumstances, (@ccnn,ccnn), where cc = card
number (00-99) and
nn = channel number (00-15 includes internal channels).
Before using the
CLOSe command with the FET multiplexers, you must
specify the
SCAN:MODE and SCAN:PORT, as these commands determine
what tree switches will be closed on a given channel. You can only have
one channel closed on a FET multiplexer at a time. If you want to close
a channel on two different multiplexers in the same switchbox instrument
(e.g., 102,202) you can use (
@ccnn,ccnn).
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values
channel_list
Numeric cc00 - cc15
Comments • Closing Channels - relay multiplexers: To close:
– a single channel, use CLOSe (@ccnn);
– multiple channels, use CLOSe (@ccnn,ccnn);
– sequential channels, use CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn);
– a group of sequential channels, use CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn).
