coupling adapter control. The 1154A and 1159A probes have external
coupling adapters that you can attach to the end of your probe. When you
attach one of these adapters, you should use the ECOupling command to
set the external coupling adapter control to match the adapter connected
to your probe as follows.

This example sets the external coupling adapter for channel 1 to ac:
myScope.WriteString ":CHANNEL1:PROBE:ECOUPLING AC"
Query
:CHANnel<N>:PROBe:ECOupling?
The :CHANnel<N>:PROBe:ECoupling? query returns the current external
adapter coupling value for the specified channel.
Returned Format
[CHANnel<N>:PROBe:ECOupling] {NONE | AC}<NL>
Example
This example places the external coupling adapter value of the specified
channel in the string variable, strAdapter, then prints the contents of the
variable to the computer's screen.
Dim strAdapter As String
myScope.WriteString ":CHANNEL1:PROBE:ECOUPLING?"
strAdapter = myScope.ReadString
Debug.Print strAdapter
