Way to see all Matrix Switch Relay status

[GeorgeGall]

I'm using Teststand and LabVIEW and the Switch Executive to control a (96x8) matrix switch. I am getting an error message saying that a particular route group cannot be connected because it uses a "Reserved for Routing" channel which is already in use. The error message does not specify which channel, nor which route group originally connected it. II've probably failed to disconnect something earlier in the main sequence. Is there any part of NI's software which will allow the state of the entire matrix switch to be examined and followed as one steps through a Teststand sequence or a LabVIEW VI? This would seem to be a most useful facility, if it exists.

Hi George,

You should be able to open the Switch soft front panel to see the active switch schematic.
You will need to make sure the correct topology is selected, but then you should see all the connected routes.
