87050A Option K22 Commands
Individual GPIB Switch Selection
Individual positioning of switches sw14, sw15, sw16, sw17 and sw50 through sw61 is also
available with Rev0106. This allows the user to customize the 87050A Option K22
multiport configuration and to minimize the switch count “wear and tear” on the
instrument. The new GPIB commands for this feature are listed in Table 4 on page 23. You
must take care as to where the switches are in relation to the desired port selection when
using these commands. The LCD indicates that the user has changed the configuration
and that prior port selection may be invalid. The LCD Displays “CONFIGURATION
MODIFIED.”
Additional GPIB Commands
In these GPIB commands (swXXY), swXX selects the switch. The last digit Y sets the
switch port path. For example, in the command sw146, sw14 selects switch 14 and the final
6 sets the switch port path to 6. See Table 4.
