put 2", "Sweep End", and "Pass/Fail" signals and to route the "Index" and "Ready for
Trigger " signals using SCPI commands.
●
CONTrol:HANDler:INPut?
queries the high to low transitions of the "Input 1"
signal.
●
The
CONTrol:HANDler:OUTPut<Pt>...
commands set the output signals to a
definite state and specify whether this state will change to "Low" when the Input 1
signal goes to "Low". This mechanism provides either static output signals or out-
put signals which are controlled by Input 1.
●
The "Index" and "Ready for Trigger" signals can be routed to pins 20 and 21 of the
Universal Interface connector, where they replace the PORT B6 and PORT B7
input/output signals. See
Chapter 10.2.4.2, "Data Ports"
●
The
CONTrol:HANDler:PASSfail...
commands configure the "Pass/Fail" sig-
nal and query the global pass/fail status of the last measurement.

Data Ports
In addition to the control signals, the Universal Interface provides four bi-directional
data ports A, B, C, D. The data ports must be configured explicitly using SCPI com-
mands; they are not controlled by the measurement.
●
With an output data port you can configure the part handler or other devices used
in testing from the network analyzer.
●
With an input data port you can configure the network analyzer using external sig-
nals and an appropriate control program.
Device configurations via data port signals are usually performed in a preliminary
stage, prior to the actual measurement sequence. If the "Index" and "Ready for Trig-
ger" signals are enabled at this stage (see
Chapter 10.2.4.1, "Control Signals"
on page 1258), they replace the PORT B6 and PORT B7 signals. Port B can still be
used as a 6-bit parallel input/output port.
