Channel List and Channel Configuration

Some SCPI commands require the channel_list parameter, which determines the
relays to close/open in the E5252A or the E5255A to connect/disconnect the desired
channels. The following figure shows the basic syntax of the channel_list parameter.

The channel_list depends on Channel Configuration mode as described later. In the
channel_list, you can specify one or more channels.
Each specified channel consists of five digits as follows:
Card Number: One digit decimal number: 0 to 4.
Specifies the slot number of the card that you want to control.
Depends on Channel Configuration mode. Refer to Table 5-2.
Channel Number: Four digit decimal number:
First two digits: specifies input port.
Last two digits: specifies output port.
Depends on type of card and Channel Configuration mode.
Refer to "E5252A Channel List" on page 5-15 and "E5255A
