Digital DIO lines
The DIO channels are split between three ports, P0, P1 and P2. Port0 contains channels to address
the choice of device columns, the Safety Bits and Devices 1,2, 16 and 17. Port1 addresses the
selection of rest of the Devices , while Port2 controls the selection of the Gates.
To turn on a Device or Gate, the security Bit P0.6 and P0.7 must be set to LOW and HIGH,
respectively. A Device is selected setting two channels HIGH , a column selector channel and a
Device selector channel. For example, to turn Dev 1 on, P0.0 and P0.4 must be set HIGH. The Gates
can be turned on by setting the corresponding P2 lines HIGH. Any number and combination of Gates
can be turned on at any one time. It is intended that only one Device is to be turned on at a time as
the current or voltage to be measured is accesed via Channel B. However, the Multiplexer Measuring
Unit can also be used for stress biased measurement whereby all the Devices are switched on , see
