From the Connect/Disconnect commands the following connections types can be made:
Resource |
Connected via the J5 connector of the GX6188. Resources can be test system instruments such as a Digital Multimeter (DMM), Source Measurement Unit (SMU), Digital Storage Oscilloscope (Scope), or Arbitrary Waveform Generator (Arb).Resources can be referenced by their Resource index number or logical name if the resource has been mapped. |
Channel |
Connected via the J2 and J3 connector of the GX6188, UUT channels are user-defined switching inputs.Channels can be referenced by their Channel index number or logical name if the channel has been mapped. |
Pin |
Pin is the equivalent of a named Channel or Resource. The terms Pin designation and logical name are used interchangeably. |
Connect / Disconnect Commands, Connections Types
Once the “to/from” connections types are defined, specific connection details can be added.
Next, the choice of selector/internal bus(es) can be defined (Bus 0 to Bus 7 or default). Note “default” allows Switch Easy to choose the Bus.
Finally, the choice of routing rules can be defined (note switching rules can be ORed). The choices are:
● aSeRuleDefault: No multiple connections, no auto-disconnect, bleed on connect, no bleed on disconnect
● aSeRuleAllowMultiConnect: Allow multiple items (Pin, Instrument, Trigger) connections
● aSeRuleConnectBleedInhibit: Disable bleeding during connection
● aSeRuleDisconnectBleedEnable: Enable bleeding on disconnection
● aSeRuleAutoDisconnectMpPin: Auto disconnect connected MacPanel pin before connect to a new MacPanel pin
The command SwitchExec Reset All () will force all relays to an open state, thereby disconnecting all signal paths.
