:FRAMe:SWITch:ROUTe
This command only applies to demo and evaluation N1002A-S40 instruments.
Command Syntax
:FRAMe:SWITch:ROUTe "<source-port>", "<destination-port>" [, "<switch-ID>"]
Where <source-port> is a string that identifies an optical switch's input port.
Where <destination-port> is a string that identifies an optical switch's output port.
Where <switch-ID> is an optional parameter that identifies a switch on switch products that have multiple internal optical switches.
Query Syntax
:FRAMe:SWITch:ROUTe? "<source-port>" [, "<switch-ID>"]
Query Response
["<destination-port>" | "DISCONNECTED"]
Description
For an N1002A-S40 optical switch, connects a path from a switch's source port to the switch's destination port. To disconnect the source port from the destination port, send the "DISCONNECTED" string.
The command query returns the connected destination port or, if the port is not connected to an destination port, "DISCONNECTED" is returned.
To query a list of strings that identify all switch ports, use the :FRAMe:SWITch:ROUTe:LIST? query.
To return all of the valid <destination-port> strings that can be sent for the specified <source-port> use the :FRAMe:SWITch:ROUTe:VSET? query. If an input port is specified, all valid output ports (including "DISCONNECTED") are returned. If an output port is specified, all valid input ports (including "DISCONNECTED") are returned. The returned "DISCONNECTED" string does not indicated that the port in is currently not assigned to a destination port. Rather, "DISCONNECTED" indicated that you can send this string as an argument to disconnect this path.
The N1002A switch uses MTP (Multi-fiber Termination Push-on) ports. Each MTP connector (port) includes 12 fibers. Eight of the fibers (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12) transport data and the middle 4 fibers (5, 6, 7, 8) are not used. Each fiber is identified using the following convention:
<MPT-connector>.<fiber-number>
For example, MPT Port 2 connector's fourth fiber would be 2.4. All available fibers are listed in the following table.
| MPT Port | Fiber ID String Format | Example | Switch | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Output | |||
| Port 1 | "1.[1|2|3|4|9|10|11|12]" | "1.3" | ● | |
| Port 2 | "2.[1|2|3|4|9|10|11|12]" | "2.10" | ● | |
| Port 3 | "3.[1|2|3|4|9|10|11|12]" | "3.8" | ● | |
| Port 4 | "4.[1|2|3|4|9|10|11|12]" | "4.1" | ● | |
| Port 6 | "6.[1|2|3|4|9|10|11|12]" | "6.4" | ● | |
This command requires FlexDCA revision A.07.40 and above.
