VXI plug&play Driver

Driver Functions

	port13	Couple port by the input ports 13 and 14.
		0 (disable) or 1 (enable).
	agb220xa_coupleState
	This function controls the couple mode for the specified card.
Syntax	ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb220xa_coupleState(ViSession vi, ViInt16 cstate_cardno,
	ViInt16 couple_state);
Parameters	vi	Instrument handle returned from agb220xa_init( ).
	cstate_cardno	Card number. 1 (card 1), 2 (card 2), 3 (card 3), 4 (card 4), or 5
		(all card) in the normal configuration mode, or 0 (all card in the
		auto configuration mode). For the configuration mode, see
		agb220xa_func.
	couple_state	Couple mode. 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
	agb220xa_dcl
	This function sends a device clear (DCL) to the instrument.
	A device clear will abort the present operation and enable the instrument to accept a
	new command or query.
	This is particularly useful in situations where it is not possible to determine the
	instrument state. In this case, it is customary to send a device clear before issuing a
	new instrument driver function. The device clear ensures that the instrument will be
	able to begin processing the new commands.
Syntax	ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb220xa_dcl(ViSession vi);
Parameters	vi	Instrument handle returned from agb220xa_init( ).

agb220xa_detectCouplePort

This function detects the input ports connected to the Kelvin cable, and assigns them as the input couple ports that will be used for the Kelvin connection. The input couple port setting is effective for the all cards. This command overwrites the previous couple port setting.

Syntax ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb220xa_detectCouplePort(ViSession vi);
