PATH:DEFINE dmm_2_pin2,(@1(116),2(14),7(23))
PATH:DEFINE cntr_2_pin1,(@1(217),2(24))
PATH:DEFINE cntr_2_pin2,(@1(216),2(37),7(3))
Then the query:
PATH:CAT?
returns the reply:
DMM_2_PIN1,DMM_2_PIN2,CNTR_2_PIN1,
CNTR_2_PIN2
The module address associated with a module name may be read
using the PATH:DEFINE? query. The syntax for this command is:
[:ROUTe]
:PATH
:DEFine? <path name>
Using the example in the previous section of this manual, the
query:
PATH:DEFINE? dmm_to_pin1
returns the reply:
(@1(117),2(17)
All paths presently defined may be prepared for storage in non-
volatile memory using the PATH:SAVE command.
The actual process of updating non-volatile memory
requires a separate SYSTEM:NVUPD command. This
allows multiple relay states, exclude lists, include
lists, and module names to be updated in rapid
succession, followed by a single, slower update of
the actual non-volatile memory.
