Is there a command to close or open the H/L Select switch directly (PXI 2501/2503 Multiplexer)

The schematic diagram (see below) shows PXI-2503 in the 1-Wire 48x1 topology.  The SPDT switch labeled as "H/L SEL" used to switch between channels 0-23 (positive side ) and channels 24-47 (negative side of 0-23).  Channels can be selected in LabVIEW by sending commands using the NI-Switch virtual instrument driver as shown below.

H/L SEL opens whenever any channel from 0-23 is selected and closes whenever any channel from 24-47 is selected.

 

The NI manual seems to imply that the switch can be controlled by name.

I've tried sending commands to open or close H/L SEL directly but can't get them to work.  I also tried the commands "H/LSEL", "HL SEL", and "HLSEL" but those failed as well.

 

Is there a command to control this switch directly?  If so, what is it?
