The SwitchPath key defines the list of switch pairs and required positions of any switches to be set when the path is set or enabled. This path is typically used to set the ICM in a unknown through position or a through test position.

The value of the SwitchPath key can also be a reference to an already defined path configuration section name. In this case the path is taken from the referenced configuration section.

The 'SwitchPath' key can be omitted if no ATE Systems controlled RF switches are used or the RF path does need to be set.

The switch pairs listed in the path do not necessarily have to be controlled by the same MultiSwitch. If there the system is part of a complex matrix that has more than one MultiSwitch controller switches from any controller can be mixed in to the switch path. When the path is set all the switches will be in the required positions.

See the configuration nomenclature for Switch Pairs and Paths.
