over-voltages often associated with local AC mains connec- tions. The user should assume all measurement, control, and data I/O connections are for connection to Category I sources unless otherwise marked or described in the Manual. Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test fixtures.

switching cards, or making internal changes, such as install- ing or removing jumpers. Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of with- standing the voltage being measured.

Introduction This quick reference guide includes summary informa- tion on front panel and IEEE-488 operation for the Model 7001 Switch System. For detailed information, consult the Model 7001 Instruction Manual.
Operation Summary Channel List and Scan List A Channel List specifies the channels to be closed or opened, and a Scan List specifies the channels to be scanned. Each channel in the list is made up of either a two integer CHANNEL number (for non-matrix type cards) or a three integer CHANNEL number (for matrix type cards).

with a hyphen (-). The M1 entry represents a channel pattern that is stored in memory (see STORE and RECALL). Edit keys A list can also be modified by using the edit keys; DELETE and INSERT. A channel entry can be deleted by placing the cursor on the desired entry and pressing DELETE.
To perform a scan, first program the controlling aspects of the scan (see Table 2), and then press STEP to take the Model 7001 out of the idle state (ARM indicator on). Regardless of how the scan is configured, the STEP key is always active allowing you to manually step through the scan.
The scan can be terminated at any time by pressing the OPEN ALL key. All closed channels will open and the Model 7001 will return to the idle state (ARM indicator off). IEEE-488 operation Over the bus, a scan is configured using the :TRIGger subsystem commands.

To recall a channel pattern from memory: 1. Press RECALL and enter the memory location of the stored channel pattern. 2. Press ENTER. The channel status display will imme- diately update to reflect the recalled channel pat- tern. Another way to recall a channel pattern is to include a memory location (e.g.
Menu item Description SAVESETUP Setup Menu: SAVE Save setup at a memory location (up to 10). RESTORE Return 7001 to setup stored at a memory location. PWRON Power-on Menu: FACTORY DEFAULT Power-on to factory default setup conditions. USER SETUP Power-on to setup stored at a memory location.
