:BUS<n>:BITS
(see page 564 )
Command Syntax
:BUS<n>:BITS <channel_list>, <display>
<channel_list> ::= (@<m>,<m>:<m>, ...) where commas separate bits and
colons define bit ranges.
<m> ::= An integer, 0,..,15, defines a digital channel affected by the
command.
<display> ::= {{1 | ON} | {0 | OFF}}
<n> ::= An integer, 1 or 2, is attached as a suffix to BUS
and defines the bus that is affected by the command.
The :BUS<n>:BITS command includes or excludes the selected bits in the
channel list in the definition of the selected bus. If the parameter is a 1
(ON) then the bits in the channel list are included as part of the selected
bus definition. If the parameter is a 0 (OFF) then the bits in the channel
list are excluded from the definition of the selected bus.
Query Syntax
:BUS<n>:BITS?
The :BUS<n>:BITS? query returns the definition for the specified bus.
Return Format
<channel_list>, <display><NL>
<channel_list> ::= (@<m>,<m>:<m>, ...) where commas separate bits and
colons define bit ranges.
<display> ::= {0 | 1}
