For example, suppose the following commands have been
executed:
MODULE:DEFINE scanner,1
MODULE:DEFINE matrix,2
MODULE:DEFINE power,5
MODULE:DEFINE rf_mux,4
Then the query:
MOD:CAT?
returns the reply:
SCANNER,MATRIX,RF_MUX,POWER
The module address associated with a module name may be read
using the MODULE:DEFINE? query. The syntax for this command
is:
[:ROUTe]
:MODule
Using the example in the previous section of this manual, the
query:
MODULE:DEFINE? matrix
returns the reply:
2
All module names presently defined may be prepared for storage
in non-volatile memory using the MODULE:SAVE command. The
actual process of updating non-volatile memory for this command
requires a separate SYSTEM:NVUPD command. This allows
multiple relay states, path names, path definitions, and module
names to be updated in rapid succession, followed by a single,
slower update of the actual non-volatile memory.
All module names stored in non-volatile memory may be recalled
from non-volatile memory using the MODULE:RECALL command.
The syntax for these commands is shown below:
:DEFine? <module name>
