30 Configuring the Agilent E8462A Multiplexer
Refer to Chapter 3 of this Manual, the command [ROUTe:]CLOSe for the
paired channel information.
You must specify the operating mode BEFORE you execute the commands
OPEN, CLOSe, and SCAN. Pay attention to the valid channel numbers
when you open, close or scan the specific channel(s) in different operating
modes.
The channels can be addressed using channel numbers or channel ranges.
You can address the following:
• single channels (@ccbnnn);
• multiple channels (@ccbnnn,ccbnnn,...);
• sequential channels (@ccbnnn:ccbnnn);
• groups of sequential channels (@ccbnnn:ccbnnn,ccbnnn:ccbnnn);
• or any combination of the above.
Card Numbers The card number (ss of the channel list) identifies the module within a
multiple switching cards. The card number assigned depends on the switch
configuration used. Leading zeroes can be ignored for the module (card)
number.
Single-module. In a single Multiplexer module configuration, the card
number is always 01 or 1.
Multiple-module. In a multiple-module configuration, modules are set to
successive logical addresses. The module with the lowest logical address is
always card number 01. The module with the next successive logical address
is card number 02, and so on.
Figure 1-13 illustrates the card numbers and logical addresses of a typical
multiple-module configuration.
