SETUP

The PSETUP command causes the specified module to transmit
its sequence mode. The supported sequence modes are IMM
(Immediate), BBM (Break-Before-Make), and MBB (Make-
Before-Break). The syntax used is:
PSETUP <mod addr>[;<mod addr>][;<mod addr>]....
The response to the PSETUP command for the 1260-64 is as
follows:
<header>
<mod addr>.<seq mode>
<mod addr>.END
where <seq mode> is IMM, BBM, or MBB, and
where <header> is as follows:
1260-64A: <mod addr>. 1260-64A Quad 1x6 SWITCHING
MODULE
1260-64B: <mod addr>. 1260-64B Dual 1x6 SWITCHING
MODULE
1260-64C: <mod addr>. 1260-64C Single 1x6 SWITCHING
MODULE
Note the actual <header> sent is determined by the setting of the
ID Byte DIP switches on the module, and is independent of the
number of microwave relays installed.
The 1260-64 1x6 microwave relays (S1 through S4) each allow
at most one of the six relays to be closed at any one time. The
card implements an "implicit exclusion list" for each 1x6
microwave relay. For example, if the 1260-64 module address is
3, and relay 3.204 is currently closed, then the command:
CLOSE 3.201
will cause the card to open relay 3.204, and then close relay
3.201. Similarly, if the command:
CLOSE 3.200-205
is issued, the card will close only relay 3.205, with relays 3.200
through 3.204 being opened prior to closing relay 3.205.
The SETUP command affects only the DC relays in Banks A and
B. These relays may be programmed as Break-Before-Make,
