50 Relay Matrix Switch Command Reference Chapter 3
[ROUTe:]
The [ROUTe:] subsystem controls switching and scanning operations for
Relay Matrix Switch modules in a switchbox.
NOTE The [ROUTe:] subsystem opens all previously closed relays. Therefore, it
should be the first relay configuration command.
Subsystem Syntax [ROUTe:]
CLOSe <channel_list>
CLOSe? <channel_list>
OPEN <channel_list>
OPEN? <channel_list>
SCAN <channel_list>
[ROUTe:]CLOSe
[ROUTe:]CLOSe <channel_list> closes the Relay Matrix Switch channels
specified by channel_list.
Parameters
Comments channel_list Form: For the E1468A, channel_list has the form (@ssrc)
where ss = card number (01-99), r = row number, and c = column
number. For the E1469A, channel_list has the form (@ssrrcc) where

ss = card number (01-99), rr = row number, and cc = column number.
Closing Channels (E1468A Only):
• For a single channel, use [ROUT:]CLOS (@ssrc)
• For multiple channels, use [ROUT:]CLOS (@ssrc,ssrc,...)
• For sequential channels, use [ROUT:]CLOS (@ssrc:ssrc)
• for groups of sequential channels use [ROUT:]CLOS
(@ssrc:ssrc,ssrc:ssrc).
You can use any combination of these commands. However, closure
order for multiple channels with a single command is not guaranteed.
