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 output
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
●
The
CONTrol:HANDler:PASSfail...
commands configure the "Pass/Fail" signal
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 commands;
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 signals
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 Trigger" signals
are enabled at this stage (see
chapter 9.1.4.1, "Control Signals"
replace the PORT B6 and PORT B7 signals. Port B can still be used as a 6-bit parallel
input/output port.
