SELect
Command :SELect <module>
The SELect command selects which module (or system) will have parser
control. The appropriate module (or system) must be selected before any
module (or system) specific commands can be sent. SELECT 0 selects
System, SELECT 1 through 5 selects modules A through E in an HP 16500C
only. SELECT 1 through 10 selects modules A through J when an HP 16501A
is connected. –1 and –2 selects software options 1 and 2 respectively. The
query returns the current module selection.
When a module is selected, the parser recognizes the module’s commands
and the System/Intermodule commands. When SELECT 0 is used, only the
System/Intermodule commands are recognized by the parser. Figure 10-2
shows the command tree for the SELect command.
<module> Selects module or system. An integer from –2 through 5 for HP 16500C only
or an integer from –2 through 10 with an HP 16501A connected.
