This command specifies the state that all latching relays on all modules
controlled by the Option 01 are to be placed in when power is removed from the
VXI chassis containing the modules. <action_at_powerfail> must be OPEN or
SAME. If OPEN is specified, all latching relays are opened at powerfail. If
SAME is specified, all latching relays are left in their current state at powerfail.
NOTE. VXI chassis +5 V power is maintained for 4 milliseconds after ACFAIL is
asserted, in compliance with VXI Specifications. This allows for orderly system
shutdown and implementation of the PFAil OPEN option.
