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.
