Agilent Technologies B2201A manual ROUTeAGNDSTATe

	SCPI Command Reference
	[:ROUTe]:AGND[:STATe]
	[:ROUTe]:AGND[:STATe]
	You cannot set the Ground Mode to ON when the Bias Mode is ON.
NOTE
	This command controls the Ground Mode for the specified card. When the Ground
	Mode is ON, the input Ground Port is connected to the all ground-enabledinput
	ports/output ports that have not been connected to any other port. At *RST, the
	Ground Mode is OFF.
	The query returns the mode status.
	The input Ground Port is set by “[:ROUTe]:AGND:PORT”. The ground-enabled
	input ports are set by “[:ROUTe]:AGND:UNUSED”. And the ground-enabled
	output ports are set by “[:ROUTe]:AGND:CHANnel:ENABle[:LIST]” or
	“[:ROUTe]:AGND:CHANnel:ENABle:CARD”.
	When the Ground Mode is ON, you cannot directly control the Ground Port
	connections. However, they can be indirectly controlled when the connections of the
	other input port are controlled.
	When the Ground Mode is OFF, the input Ground Port is the same as the other input
	ports, so relays can be controlled directly to connect to output ports.
