Query Response
{1 | 0}
Description
Use to confirm the availability to connect any two ports on the Hardware Diagram.
The returned values can be one of the following tokens:
- 1
- The two specified ports are available to be connected. To connect the ports, use the
:CONFigure:PORT:CONNectcommand. - 0
- The two specified ports cannot be connected together. Either one of the ports is incompatible or the port does not exist.

A dash character (—) indicates that the name of the device cannot be changed.
The module identification strings (for example, "X1" and "M1") match the module identification label shown on Switch blocks. These example strings may not match the modules installed in your switch.
A name for a Switch (model number and serial number) is defined in a Switch driver and read by FlexOTO.
A name for an Instrument (model number and serial number) is defined in your Instrument driver and read by FlexOTO.

Port argument strings match the port labels shown on Switch blocks. Argument strings may or may not match the label on the switch's front panel. These example strings may not match the modules installed in your switch. Use the :CONFigure:PORT:ALL? query to return all valid port names for a hardware block.
Switch measurement port argument strings are defined in your Switch driver and read by FlexOTO.
Instrument measurement port argument strings are defined in your Instrument driver and read by FlexOTO.

Due to the variety of options available, use FlexOTO's SCPI recorder when not sure about valid parameter strings.
Maximum port number depends on installed switch module.
