Syntax
ROUTe:PATH
Description
The PATH subsystem allows storing of channel lists to simplify remote
access and to customize the manual interface to the 87130A.
• Paths are specified using CLOSE and OPEN channel lists. Each relay
contains one CLOSE and one OPEN path. Refer to the command
explanations :CLOSe on page 4-30 and
:OPEN on page 4-52 for more
information.
• A path is defined as a specification of switch positions for a range of
switches. Thus it may require one or two channel lists to fully specify a
path, depending on the mix of OPENs and CLOSEs in the path.
• The paths can be defined, labeled, and/or sent to the hardware. Each path
has a name by which it is referenced for the purpose of programming,
which is established by the
PATH:DEF command.
• The paths can be collected into meaningful groups using the GROUP
command. They can also be sent in place of channel lists by the
ROUTE
and other commands.
NOTE In systems without CMOS RAM it is necessary to execute a write to
EEROM after configuring custom paths to ensure that the path data will
survive a power cycle. Refer to the
MEM:SAVE command section.
