Driver Functions
agb220xa_connRuleSeq
The function sets connection rule and connection sequence for the specified card.
Syntax ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb220xa_connRuleSeq(ViSession vi,
ViInt16 cardno_ruleseq, ViInt16 rule, ViInt16 sequence);
Parameters vi Instrument handle returned from agb220xa_init( ).
cardno_ruleseq 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.
rule Connection rule. 0 (free route) or 1 (single route).
sequence Connection sequence. 0, 1, or 2. See below.
0 (no sequence)
1 (break before make)
2 (make before break)
agb220xa_couplePort
This function sets the couple ports which are used for making kelvin connections on
the specified card. The specified input port number will be coupled with the next
input port and two output ports. For each card, you may setup the same or different
couple ports. This command overwrites the previous couple port setting for the card.
The couple mode is controlled by the agb220xa_coupleState function.
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.
If the ground input port and a couple port have been assigned to the same input port,
the ground mode and the couple mode cannot be used in parallel.
If a ground enabled input port and a couple port have been assigned to the same
input port, the ground mode and the couple mode cannot be used in parallel.
Syntax ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb220xa_couplePort(ViSession vi, ViInt16 cport_cardno,
ViInt16 port1, ViInt16 port3, ViInt16 port5, ViInt16 port7, ViInt16 port9,
ViInt16 port11, ViInt16 port13);
Parameters vi Instrument handle returned from agb220xa_init( ).
