SCPI Command Reference

 

 

 

 

[:ROUTe]:BIAS[:STATe]

 

 

In this example, A will be 4.

 

 

 

[:ROUTe]:BIAS[:STATe]

 

 

You cannot set the Bias Mode to ON when the Ground Mode is ON.

NOTE

 

 

 

This command controls the Bias Mode for the specified card. When the Bias Mode

 

 

is ON, the input Bias Port is connected to the all bias-enabledoutput ports that have

 

 

not been connected to any other input port. At *RST, the Bias Mode is OFF.

 

 

The query returns the mode status of the specified card.

 

 

The input Bias Port is set by “[:ROUTe]:BIAS:PORT”. The bias-enabledoutput

 

 

ports (channels) are set by “[:ROUTe]:BIAS:CHANnel:ENABle[:LIST]” or

 

 

“[:ROUTe]:BIAS:CHANnel:ENABle:CARD”.

 

 

When the Bias Mode is ON, you cannot directly control the Bias Port connections.

 

 

However, they can be indirectly controlled when the connections of the other input

 

 

port are controlled.

 

 

 

When the Bias Mode is OFF, the input Bias Port is the same as the other input ports,

 

 

so relays can be controlled directly to connect to output ports.
