specified in a [ROUTe:]CLOSe <channel_list> command, the last channel
specified will be closed. For example, the commands
route:configure:join m2,(1:6)
route:close:mode scan,m2,(1:6)
join the commons of all six sections of the VX4330 Module and set the mode of
the [ROUTe]:CLOSE <channel_list> to scan mode for all six sections of the
VX4330.
The command
route:close (@m2(1!1,1!6))
will then result in channel 1 of section 6 being closed and all other channels on
the module being opened.
output queue The Output queue of the Option 01 VXI Interface is used to return
replies to queries received by the interface. Bit 4 (the MAV bit) of the Status
Byte register is set to indicate that this queue is not empty. The DOR bit in the
VXI Response register is also set to indicate that this queue is not empty. The
commander of the Option 01 VXI Interface monitors the DOR bit to determine
when it may read a message from the Output queue.
<section_list> One or more <nr1> fields separated by comma (,) or colon (:)

ure or [ROUTe:]CLOSe:MODE command. The following are examples of valid
<section_list>s.
