42 How to Use the System Software Chapter 2
Adding a New Path
To add a new path, first determine the end nodes or points in the path. Then
use the “Switching Action Editor” to find a path using the intermediate
nodes between the end notes or points.
For example, to connect the Hi input of the Agilent E1411B Digital
Multimeter (DMM) to the Hi output of the Agilent E6171 Measurement
Control Module (MCM), you must know the node names for these
connections. Also, since the DMM has no direct connections to the VI
source or MCM, it must connect using ABusx. Thus, the nodes for this path
would be: [DVMHi ABus1 VISrcHi].
Before adding a new path, first use the procedure in Figure 2-20 to enable
the “Select Switching Path” screen. Then use the procedure in Figure 2-21
to add the path.
Editing a Switching Path
To edit a path, first use the procedure in Figure 2-20 to enable the “Select
Switching Path” screen, if the screen is not enabled. Then use the procedure
in Figure 2-22 to edit the path.
Deleting a Path
To delete a path, first use the procedure in Figure 2-20 to enable the “Select
Switching Path” screen, if the screen is not enabled. Then use the procedure
in Figure 2-23 to delete the path.
