This function ground-enables or disables all the output ports of the specified card.

Syntax	ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb220xa_groundChanCard(ViSession vi,
	ViInt16 disable_enable, ViInt16 gnd_cardno);
Parameters	vi	Instrument handle returned from agb220xa_init( ).
	disable_enable	Status of the card, ground enabled or ground disabled.
		0 : sets ground enabled card.
		1 : sets ground disabled card.
	gnd_cardno	Card number. 1 (card 1), 2 (card 2), 3 (card 3), 4 (card 4), or 5

agb220xa_groundChanList

This function ground-enables or disables all the output ports specified by the gndchan_list.

The parameter “gndchan_list” is an array of integers with each integer representing one channel. The last number of the “gndchan_list” should be “0” (numeric zero) to identify the end of the list. The maximum number of channels that can be specified by the list is 100.

Syntax	ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb220xa_groundChanList(ViSession vi,
	ViInt16 gndchan_disen, ViInt32_VI_FAR gndchan_list[ ] );
Parameters	vi	Instrument handle returned from agb220xa_init( ).
	gndchan_disen	Status of the port, ground enabled or ground disabled.
		0 : sets ground enabled port.
		1 : sets ground disabled port.
	gndchan_list[ ]	Channel numbers. 5 digits integer. ABCDE. where A: card
		number, BC: input port number, DE: output port number.
		Top zero(s) can be ignored. For example, if A=0, BC=01, and
		DE=01, channel number should be 101 instead of 00101.
