in with address 3.
Multiple relays on multiple plug-ins may also be specified. In
general, the syntax:
(@<address>(<channel list>),<address>(<channel
list>),...)
is used. For example:
CLOSE (@3(1:10, 17), 7(15),8(8:10))
This closes the following relays:
Slot 3 channels 1 through 10 and 17
Slot 7 channel 15
Slot 8 channels 8 through 10
Each plug-in module controlled by a 1256 may be given a name.
This name may be used in place of the slot number in any
command used to control a relay.
The MODULE:DEFINE command (MOD:DEF) may be used to
define a name of a plug-in module. The syntax for this command
is:
MOD:DEF <module name> , <module address>
The <module name> is a string of up to 44 characters. It must
begin with a letter between "A" and "Z". After the first letter, all
other letters may be "A" - "Z", "0" through "9", and the underscore
"_".
The module name may be 44 characters. However, to maintain
true SCPI compatibility, it must not exceed 12 characters.
Examples of valid commands are as follows.
Assigns name to plug-in module 1 (slot 1):
MOD:DEF A,1
Assigns name to plug-in module 7:
MOD:DEF ABCDEFGHIJKL,7
Assigns name to plug-in module 8:
