[ROUTe:]FUNCtion?
<card_number>
returns the current operating mode of the card(s)
queried. See [ROUTe:]FUNCtion for
card_number
definition. The command
returns "WIRE1" if in the one-wire mode, "WIRE2" if in the two-wire mode,
"WIRE3" if in the three-wire mode, or "WIRE4" if in the four-wire mode.
Example
Query Operating Mode
This example sets card #1 in a single-module switchbox to one-wire mode and
queries the operating state. Since the one-wire mode is selected, "WIRE1" is
returned.
FUNC 1,WIRE1 !Configure card #1 to one-wire mode
FUNC? 1 !Query mode of card #1
[ROUTe:]OPEN
[ROUTe:]OPEN
<channel_list>
opens the multiplexer channels specified by
channel_list
.
Channel_list
has the form (@
ss0hbc
) where
ss
= card number
(00-99),
0h
= one-wire mode only high/low switching (00 or 01),
b
= bank
number (0-7), and
c
= channel number (0-7).
Parameters
Comments
One-Wire Mode (WIRE1):
When opening a channel in one-wire mode, the HI or LO
line must be selected using
channel_list.
01 selects HI and 00 selects LO. If
one-wire mode is selected, and a four-digit channel number is used, the LO line
is selected.
Two-Wire Mode (WIRE2):
Switches both the HI and LO terminals of a channel in
banks 0 through 3 or banks 4 through 7 to that bank’s HI COM and LO COM
terminals
Two-Wire Mode (WIRE2X64):
Switches the HI and LO terminals of a channel in banks
0 through 7 to that bank’s HI COM and LO COM terminals. A maximum of 64
two-wire channels can be switched. This mode is available via E1406A
