5.13. ROUTe
5.13. ROUTe
The ROUTe command subsystem controls switching operations for relay modules such as SMX46 and PREL6 and defines channel labels.
Please note that when list of channels separated with comma is specified no space is allowed. For example (@111,121) instead of (@111, 121) or (@111 , 121).

Syntax |
ROUTe:CLOSe {<chanlist>} ROUTe:CLOSe? {<chanlist>} |
|||
|
Modules |
SMX PREL MUX |
|||
|
Description |
This command closes (turns it on) the relay channels specified by <chanlist>. The <chanlist> on the SMX module has the form (@nrc) where n is the module slot number, r is the channel row number and c is the column number. On other modules <chanlist> has a form (@nxx) where n is the module slot number, and xx is channel number. |

Parameters |
Name |
Type |
Range |
Default |
|
<chanlist> |
ChannelList |
SMX: (@n03) and (@n11) to (@n46), PREL: (@n01) to (@n06), MUX: (@n01) to (@n03), (@n11) to (@n17) and (@n21) to (@n27) where n is the slot number |
– |
|
|
Return |
Returns the current state of the channel(s) queried. The command returns "1" if channel(s) are closed (relay is energized) or returns "0" if channel(s) are open (relay is idle). |
|||
|
Usage example |
Closing (activating) four crosspoints (X1Y1, X2Y1, X3Y1, X4Y1) at once on the SMX46 inserted into slot 1: ROUT:CLOS (@111,112,113,114) Closing all crosspoints in row 3 (X3Y1 to X3Y6) at once on the SMX46 inserted into slot 1: ROUT:CLOS (@113:163) Closing power relay on SMX46 inserted in slot 2: ROUT:CLOS (@203) |

5.13.2. ROUTe:CLOSe:EXCLusive
|
Syntax |
ROUTe:CLOSe:EXCLusive {<chanlist>} |
|||
|
Modules |
PREL MUX |
|||
|
Description |
Use this command to close relay channel specified by <chanlist> and open all currently closed channels on the destionation module. <chanlist> has the form (@nxx) where n is the module slot number, and xx is channel number.
If the EXT channel (@n03) is closed on the MUX module, then the scope of this command is extended to another multiplexer (P2). |

|
Usage example |
Closing (activating) three channels (@211, @212, @213) at once on the MUX module on slot 2: ROUT:CLOS (@211:213) Channel @214 closes exclusively, which will open three previously closed channels: ROUT:CLOS:EXCL (@214) ROUT:CLOS? (@211:213) 0,0,0 |
