Controlling the E5250A

Switch Control Basics

 

Couple Port

 

 

 

 

This function is available only for the E5252A.

NOTE

 

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.
