Agilent Technologies B2201A manual ROUTeCOUPleSTATe

SCPI Command Reference [:ROUTe]:COUPle[:STATe]

[:ROUTe]:COUPle[:STATe]

This command controls the Couple Mode for the specified card. The query returns the mode status of the specified card. At *RST, the Couple Mode is OFF.

The input couple ports are set by “[:ROUTe]:COUPle:PORT:DETect” or “[:ROUTe]:COUPle:PORT”.

If you specify a connection from a couple input port to an output port when the couple mode is ON, the B2200 automatically controls relays to connect the input ports n-1 and n to the output ports m-1 and m respectively (n: an even number from 2 to 14, m: an even number from 2 to 12, 2 to 24, 2 to 36, or 2 to 48 depends on the B2200 configuration). See example below.

Example	OUTPUT @Agb2200;":ROUT:COUP:STAT ALL,ON"

OUTPUT @Agb2200;":ROUT:COUP:STAT? 2"

ENTER @Agb2200;A

In this example, A will be 1.

OUTPUT @Agb2200;":ROUT:COUP:PORT ALL,'1'"

OUTPUT @Agb2200;":ROUT:COUP:STAT ALL,ON"

OUTPUT @Agb2200;":ROUT:CLOS (@10103)"

This example controls the card 1 relays and connects the inputs 1 and 2 to the outputs 3 and 4 respectively. :ROUT:CLOS (@10104) will make the same result.
