Remote digital I/O commands
Commands for both SCPI and TSP are summarized in the following table. You can use the digital I/O
port to do the following actions:
•
Perform basic steady-state digital I/O operations, such as reading and writing to individual I/O
lines or reading and writing to the entire port
•
Trigger the instrument when external trigger pulses are applied to the digital I/O port
•
Provide trigger pulses to external devices
SCPI command
TSP command
Description
This command sets the mode of the digital I/O line to
be a digital line, trigger line, or synchronous line and
sets the line to be input, output, or open-drain.

A line reset is not available in SCPI; however, the line is
reset when a global reset (
*RST
) is sent
This command resets digital I/O line values to their
factory defaults.
(on page 12-26)
This command sets a digital I/O line high or low when
the line is set for digital control and returns the state
on the digital I/O lines.

This command reads the digital I/O port. All six lines
must be configured as digital control lines. If not, this
command generates an error.
(on page 14-55)
This command writes to all digital I/O lines. All six
