Agilent E1330B
Description
The Agilent E1330B Quad 8-bit Digital Input/Output module is
a B-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI device. It is a four-port
digital input/output module intended for data communication
and digital control.
Each 8-bit port is identical consisting of data and handshake/
control lines. Each 8-bit port can be configured for output or
input and positive or negative true logic. Ports can be
combined allowing data transmission using bytes, words (16bit), and long words (32-bit). Bit data transmissions are also
allowed. Three handshake and control lines are provided for
each port when using SCPI programming. The flag line from
each of the individual ports can be used independently, or
they can be combined when using word or long-word data
transmission.
Refer to the Agilent Technologies Website for instrument
driver availability and downloading instructions, as well as for
recent product updates, if applicable.
Handshake and Control Lines
Three handshake and control lines are provided for each port
when using SCPI programming. These lines provide the
following functions:
FLG Flag line. Data handshaking line input to the digital I/O
module.
CTL Control line. Data handshaking line output by the digital
I/O module.
I/O Input/output status line. Output line on the module
describing the current status of the port.
The flag line from each of the individual ports can be used
independently, or they can be combined when using word or
long-word data transmission.
Each port has three additional control lines available for
custom handshaking and interrupt functions: PIR (peripheral
PDFINFO H 5 5 5 6 - 0 1
interrupt), /RES (peripheral reset), and STS (status). Control
of these three lines is accomplished using register-based
programming.
