7.6 Switch [Module] Command Set
The following contains the switch [module] commands of SCPI that the GPIB /
RS 232 / USB control is compatible with.
7.6.1 :SWITch<id>[:VALue] <number>
Syntax
[ROUTe]:SWITch<id>[:VALue] <number>
Description
This command is used to control the position of the switches. The switch
specified by the numeric suffix <id> is set to position <number>. Switch
positions are specified in a 0 to N fashion, therefore legal values for <number>
are from 0 to the maximum number of position for the switch. For example, a
SP10T switch has 11 positions, 0 thru 10. Position 0 means the switch is set to
its default position.
For most switches the default position is pos 0 (open switch). So in case of a
SP10T switch this means no position is closed.
In case of a transfer switch, since it does not have an open position, the default
position is pos 1. So commanding it to pos 0 will close it to position 1.
