Basic Digital I/O Operations
Channel Numbering and Width
The digital channels are numbered by bank; 101 through 104 and 201
through 204 for banks 1 and 2 respectively.
Using SCPI commands you can group digital I/O channels together to
allow 16- or 32- bit operations. The first and third channels on a bank can
be control channels. Width and direction of the memory operations are
controlled by the width and direction of the first channel on the bank
(i.e., 101 or 201). In the SCPI language for the 34950A, BYTE refers to
8- bit operations, WORD refers to 16- bit operations, and LWORd refers to
32- bit operations.
This table illustrates how the channels are numbered for each operating
configuration.
