RF Switch Command Reference 33
Chapter 3
[ROUTe:]
The ROUTe subsystem automatically connects a specified channel to a
specified COMMon terminal on the module.
Subsystem Syntax [ROUTe:]
PATH[:COMMon] <comm>,<channel>
PATH[:COMMon]? <comm>,<channel>
[ROUTe:]PATH[:COMMon]
[ROUTe:]PATH[:COMMon]<comm>,<channel> closes the E1470A path
specified by <comm> and <channel>. <comm> is a 2-digit number and
<channel> is a 3-digit number. Leading zeros may be omitted.
Parameters
Comments Addressing Signal Paths. A signal path connects a <channel> terminal to
a COM terminal (specified by <comm>. PATH <comm>,<channel>closes
a single path. For multiple paths, use multiple linked commands: PATH
<comm>,<channel>;:PATH <comm>,<channel>; etc.
Closing may Open Other Paths. Closing one path may open another path if
both paths use the same relays. See Chapter 1 to determine if this might
happen. Use [ROUTe:]PATH? to determine if a path is closed.
Invalid Values. Invalid <comm> and <channel> values or combinations
may cause one of the following errors:
2001, “Invalid channel number” for invalid <channel>
2023, “Invalid common bank number” for invalid <comm>.
2024, “Invalid source bank number” for invalid <channel>
2025, “Invalid common-source combination” for invalid combination
of <comm> and <channel> parameters.
*RST Condition. Channel bb0 connects to COM bb for all 3-to-1
multiplexer banks. This is equivalent to PATH bb,bb0 (where bb is the
<comm>number).
