Keithley 3730 Reference Manual

Series 3700A System Switch/Multimeter Reference Manual Section 11: TSP command reference
3700AS-901-01 Rev. D/June 2018 11-53
An error is generated if:
• The parameter string contains slotX, where X = 1 to 6 or allslots
• A specified channel or channel pattern is invalid
• Channel number does not exist for slot specified
• Slot is empty
• A forbidden item is specified
• Channel is paired with another bank for a multi-wire application
Once an error is detected, the command stops processing. Channels open or close only if no errors
are found.
This command is not available for digital I/O, DAC, and totalizer channels. Calling on a specific
channel for these channels generates an error. If the digital I/O, DAC, or totalizer channel is in the
range of specified channels, the channel is ignored.
Example 1
channel.setbackplane("3003","3913")
channel.exclusiveclose("3003")
Associate analog backplane relay 3 in bank 1
on slot 3 with channel 3 on slot 3.
Open all channels and close slot 3, channel
3 and its associated analog backplane relay
(3 in bank 1 on slot 3), if it is not already
closed.
Example 2
channel.exclusiveclose("3003, 3913")
Close channel 3 on slot 3 and its associated
analog backplane relay 3 in bank 1 on slot 3.
By specifying the backplane relay directly,
you eliminate the need for associating the
backplane with channel.setbackplane.
