(Read-Write) Write and read whether to couple phase control settings (IFBW, Tolerance, Max Iterations).

Parameters

<ch>

Channel number of phase control measurement. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

Phase controlled port number. If unspecified, value is set to 1. To make settings for ports that are not simple numbers, use the [src] argument.

<bool>

Coupling state. Choose from:

ON or 1 - Couple phase control settings. The phase control settings from <port> are copied to the other phase-controlled ports.

OFF or 0 - Do NOT couple phase control settings. The phase control settings for each phase-controlled port are made independently.

[src]

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional argument.

While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports such as an external source, true mode balanced port, or one of the Source 2 outputs on the 2-port 2-source PNA-X model such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.
