Model 6517B Electrometer Reference Manual Section 14: SCPI command reference

6517B-901-01 Rev. C / August 2015 14-95

:OPEN <list>

This command is used to open a closed channel.

Usage

:ROUTe:OPEN <list>

:OPEN? <list>

<list>

 (@ chanlist): Specify channel to open

 ALL: Open all channels

Details

The :OPEN <list> command is used to open a channel on the internal scanner card. Since only

one channel can be closed, the chanlist for this command can only consist of one channel. An

alternate way to open a closed channel is to simply use the ALL parameter. It opens whichever

channel is closed.

The :OPEN? <list> query command is used to determine the state (opened or not opened) of

each channel specified by the list parameter. For this command, the chanlist can consist of multiple

channels. See :CLOSe <list> (on page 14-94) for examples to express a chanlist.

After sending this query command and addressing the Model 6517B to talk, the values for the

specified channels are sent to the computer. A value of "1" indicates that the channel is open, and a

"0" indicates that the channel is not open.

:OPEN:ALL

This command is used to open a closed channel.

Usage

ROUTe:OPEN:ALL

Details

This action command is used to open a closed channel on the internal scanner card. Note that this command

performs the same function as the :ROUTe:OPEN ALL command that was previously discussed.
