Agilent E5250A User’s Guide, Edition 9 7-35
Command Reference
[:ROUTe]:COUPle:PORT
[:ROUTe]:COUPle:PORT NOTE This command applies only to the E5252A card.
The Couple Port function is not available for the E5255A card.
The Bias Port and Couple Port cannot be set to same port number.
This command is used to set up couple ports, which are used for making Kelvin
connections. For details, refer to "Couple Ports" in Chapter 5.
Each specified input port number will be coupled with the next input port and two
output ports. The two output ports are determined by the :ROUT:CLOS command,
and the lower output port number is always odd. See example below.
To turn Couple Port Mode ON/OFF, refer to :ROUT:COUP:STAT.
For each card, you can set up the same or different couple ports.
This command overwrites the previous couple port setting for the card.
At *RST, no input ports are coupled.
Syntax [:ROUTe]:COUPle:PORT card_number,'couple_port'
Example OUTPUT @Hp5250;":ROUT:COUP:PORT ALL,'1'"
OUTPUT @Hp5250;":ROUT:CLOS (@10103)"
This example connects input port 1 to output port 3, and connects input port 2 to
output port 4.
The lower output port of the couple port is always the odd number port, even if you
specify an even output port in the :ROUT:CLOS command. For example, if you
used :ROUT:CLOS (@10104), the connections would be the same as above.
