ROUTe:CHANnel:LABel "<label>", (@<ch_list>)
ROUTe:CHANnel:LABel? [{USER | FACTory},] (@<ch_list>)
Assigns a user-defined label to the specified channels.
User-defined channel labels are available for identification purposes only and cannot be used in place of a
channel number within a command string.
Parameter Typical return
<label> = Quoted string of up to 30 characters.
You can use letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and special characters (@, %, etc).
Use the "#" character to display a degree symbol ( ° ).
Note: Both single quote and double quotes of <label> are acceptable.
(none)
{USER | FACTory}
USER: Read the user-defined label on the specified channel.
FACTory:Read the factory-default label on the specified channel.
Default: USER
Assigns a label "TEST" to channels 103 and 105:
ROUT:CHAN:LAB "TEST", (@103,105) OR
ROUT:CHAN:LAB 'TEST', (@103,105)
Clears the user-defined label previously assigned to channel 103:
ROUT:CHAN:LAB "", (@103)
Query returns the factory-default labels for channels 103 and 105:
ROUT:CHAN:LAB? FACT, (@103,105)
– When shipped from the factory, each channel is assigned a unique factory-default label (cannot be overwritten).
From the front panel, the factory-default labels are shown on the upper line of the display (for example, "Arma-
ture relay MUX Channel", "Reed relay MUX Switch", "DAC Output Sense Channel", "Current Channel MUX
Switch", and so forth).
– If desired, you can assign the same user-defined label to multiple channels within the same module or on dif-
ferent modules (i.e., channel labels are not required to be unique).
– If you specify a label with more than the allowed 30 characters, it will be truncated (no error is generated).
– Use the ROUTe:CHANnel:LABel:CLEar:MODule command to clear all user-defined labels on all channels in a spe-
cified slot, or on all modules installed in the DAQ970A/DAQ973A, and restores the factory-default labels.
