	Connection rule cannot be specified for the input bias port, which can always be
NOTE
	connected to multiple output ports.
	Connection sequence (to connect input bias port to output ports) is always
	Break-Before-Make.
	Bias mode cannot be set to ON when the ground mode is ON.
	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.
