Use this configuration when:
1. Simultaneously closing multiple channels on multiple modules.
2. Other multimeters/modules cannot control the multiplexer modules.
To use this configuration, set the first multiplexer module's logical address
to a multiple of 8. Set the next multiplexer module's logical address to the
next address value, the third module to the next address value, and so on.
The following shows the logical address settings of a switchbox with the
first multiplexer module address set to 112.
