General Information
switch layers, the switch layers are referred to by the word LAYER in the
ROUTE:LAYER:CHANNEL command. The numeric value at the end of the
mnemonic LAYER selects the switch block to which the
ROUTE:LAYER:CHANNEL command should be applied. For example, in the
following program statement, the command is applied to switch layer 2 of the
instrument.
OUTPUT 711;":ROUTE:LAYER2:CHANNEL A2,B4"
The following HP BASIC statement command moves the switch on switch
layer 1 to channel 1 of port A and channel 1 of port B:
OUTPUT 711;":ROUTE:LAYER1:CHANNEL A1,B1"
This next example sets port A to channel 2 and port B to channel 5:
OUTPUT 711;":ROUTE:LAYER1:CHANNEL A2,B5"
To learn more about this command, refer to
page
4-27.
The current switch setting can be queried. The query
:ROUTE:LAYER1:CHANNEL? places the current channel setting on layer 1 in
the output queue. In HP BASIC, the controller input statement:
ENTER <device address>;Setting$
passes the value across the bus to the controller and places it in the variable
Setting$.
Returning the switch to manual control
To return the switch to manual control after remote operation, press LOCAL.
Response generation
As defined by IEEE 488.2, query responses may be buffered for the following
conditions:
• When the query is parsed by the instrument.
• When the controller addresses the instrument to talk so that it may read the
response.
The responses to a query are buffered when the query is parsed.
