ROUTe

:CLOSe {<chanlist>}

Closes (turns on) specified relay matrix channels

:LABel

:CHANnel {<channel>}, {<label>}

Sets relay channel label

:COLumn {<slot>},{<column>},{<label>}

Sets relay matrix column label

:ROW {<slot>},{<row>},{<label>}

Sets relay matrix row label

:OPEN {<chanlist>}

Opens (turns off) specified relay matrix channels

Syntax

ROUTe:CLOSe {<chanlist>}

ROUTe:CLOSe? {<chanlist>}

Modules

 SMX  PREL 

Description

This command closes (turns it on) the relay matrix channels specified by <chanlist>. <chanlist> has the form (@nrc) where n is the module slot number, r is the channel row number and c is the column number.

Parameters

Name

Type

Range

Default

<chanlist>

ChannelList

SMX: (@n03) and (@n11) to (@n46), PREL: (@n01) to (@n06) where n is the slot number

–

Return

Returns the current state of the channel(s) queried. The command returns "1" if channel(s) are closed (relay is energized) or returns "0" if channel(s) are open (relay is idle).

Usage example

Close (activate) four crosspoints (X1Y1, X2Y1, X3Y1, X4Y1) at once on the SMX46 inserted into slot 1:

ROUT:CLOS (@111,112,113,114)

Close all crosspoints in row 3 (X3Y1 to X3Y6) at once on the SMX46 inserted into slot 1:

ROUT:CLOS (@113:163)

Close power relay on SMX46 inserted in slot 2:

ROUT:CLOS (@203)
