Driver Functions

agb220xa_couplePort

This function sets the couple ports which are used for making kelvin connections on the specified card. The specified input port number will be coupled with the next input port and two output ports. For each card, you may setup the same or different couple ports. This command overwrites the previous couple port setting for the card.

The couple mode is controlled by the agb220xa_coupleState function.

If the bias input port and a couple port have been assigned to the same input port, the bias mode and the couple mode cannot be used in parallel.

If the ground input port and a couple port have been assigned to the same input port, the ground mode and the couple mode cannot be used in parallel.

If a ground enabled input port and a couple port have been assigned to the same input port, the ground mode and the couple mode cannot be used in parallel.
