Signal Routing
The commands in this section allow you to control Agilent 8159x Optical
Switch modules
command:
:ROUTe[n][:CHANnel[m]]
syntax: :ROUTe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]<wsp><channel_list>
description: Sets the channel route between two ports.
NOTE
When you use switches with dependent connections (e.g. the 2x2 switch), it is possible that
one route configuration automatically changes another connection!
parameters: n:
m:
channel_list
the slot number of the switch module
the switch channel within the selected switch module.
e.g. for dual 1 x 2 module m = 1 for switch 1; m = 2 for switch 2
the route between left and right ports.
channel_list format: [A....Z],[1....n]
response: If an invalid route is selected the following error message is returned - "StatParamError"
example: rout3:chan1 A,2 (module in slot 3,channel 1, connect port A with port 2)
affects: All switch modules
command:
:ROUTe[n][:CHANnel[m]]?
syntax: :ROUTe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]<wsp><channel_list>
description: Queries the current channel route of the switch for a specific module and switch channel.
parameters: n:
m:
the slot number of the switch module
the switch channel within the selected switch module. Default value is 1.
response: [A.....Z],[1.....n];[A.....Z],[1.....n] as a text string.
"," separates input and output ports of a specific connection.
";" separates parallel connections (as used in 2x2 switch).
example: rout3:chan1? → A,1 simple 1xN switch
rout2:chan1? → A,2;B,1 (2x2 crossover switch in crossover config).
affects: All switch modules
