Couple Port NOTE This function is available only for the E5252A.
Bias Port and Couple Port cannot be set to the same port number.
This function is used for making Kelvin connections. Couple port allows
synchronized connection of two adjacent input ports to two adjacent output ports.
You set up the Couple Port by using the [:ROUTe]:COUPle:PORT command
described in Chapter 7.
To turn Couple Port mode ON/OFF, refer to [:ROUTe]:COUPle[:STATe] command
in Chapter 7.
For a programming example, refer to Chapter 6.
The input ports 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, or 9 and 10 can be coupled
together. See Table 5-4. For example, if you specify input port number 1 in the
[:ROUTe]:COUPle:PORT command, input ports 1 and 2 are coupled together.
