Parameter Code
C .1A <2.5R .001T .005S
Parameter codes identify parameter statements throughout the test script. They are combined with switching codes to determine the type of test to perform. The following table defines switching codes in NETS.
| Switching Code | Switching Setup |
|---|---|
| X | Output Setup - No Test |
| C | Two Point Test, Continuity Default |
| V | Two Point Test, Follow the Wire |
| F | Low Order Bulk, Scanning |
| D | Low Order Bulk, No Scan |
| R | Low Order Bulk, Lowest Point Scan |
| S | High Order Bulk, Scanning |
| T | All Points Bulk, Scanning |
| A, B, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, U, Y, Z |
Two Point Test, Additional |
| Q | Two Point Test, MTT Jacks |
| W | External Access Jacks |
When a parameter code and switching code are identical, it may be called a "tag letter." In this case, the letter only needs to be entered once, even though the NETS report will show both the parameter and switching code in the test.
In the following example, a single C can be used in place of two:
X22 Sets up the output at address 22.
C49=CC49 Using the C parameter, perform a C type test to address 49 from 22.
In this example, the parameter and switching codes are different and must both be entered:
X34 Sets up the output at address 34.
FC101 Using the F parameter, perform a C type test to address 101 from 34.
