The [ROUTe:] command subsystem controls switching and scanning

operations for multiplexer modules in a switchbox.

the first relay configuration command.

[ROUTe:]CLOSe

[ROUTe:]CLOSe <channel_list> closes the multiplexer channels specified

by channel_list. Channel_list has the form (@ss0hbc) where ss = card

number (01-99), 0h = one-wire mode only high/low switching (00 or 01),

b = bank number (0-7), and c = channel number (0-7).

Parameters

Comments One-Wire Mode (WIRE1): When closing a channel in one-wire mode, the

HI or LO line must be selected using channel_list. 01 selects HI, and 00

selects LO. If one-wire mode is selected, and a four-digit channel number

is used, the LO line is selected.

Two-Wire Mode (WIRE2/WIRE2X64): Switches the HI and LO terminals of

a channel in banks 0 through 3 or banks 4 through 7 to that bank’s HI

COM and LO COM terminals.
