Auto Couple
Auto Couple
The Auto Couple feature provides a quick and convenient way to automatically couple multiple
instrument settings. This helps ensure accurate measurements and optimum dynamic range. When
the Auto Couple feature is activated, either from the front panel or remotely, all parameters of the
current measurement that have an Auto/Manual mode are set to Auto mode and all measurement
settings dependent on (or coupled to) the Auto/Man parameters are automatically adjusted for
optimal performance.
However, the Auto Couple key actions are confined to the current measurement only. It does not
affect other measurements in the mode, and it does not affect markers, marker functions, or trace
or display attributes.

Key Path Front-panel key
Remote Command :COUPle ALL|NONE
Example :COUP ALL
Notes :COUPle ALL puts all Auto/Man parameters in Auto mode (equivalent to pressing the Auto
Couple key).
:COUPLE NONE puts all Auto/Man parameters in manual mode. It decouples all the coupled
instrument parameters and is not recommended for making measurements.
Initial S/W Revision Prior to A.02.00
More Information
There are two types of functions that have Auto/Manual modes, as described below:
Auto/Man Active Function keys
An Auto/Man toggle key controls the binary state associated with an instrument parameter by
toggling between Auto (where the parameter is automatically coupled to the other parameters it is
dependent upon) and Man (where the parameter is controlled independent of the other
parameters), as well as making the parameter the active function. The current mode is indicated
on the softkey with either Auto or Man underlined as illustrated below.
