13 Breadboard Module
Read Command Syntax
Before reading digital data from the breadboard, you must first configure
the digital channel width as byte or word, using the
CONFigure:DIGital:WIDTh command. The syntax is:
CONFigure:DIGital:WIDTh <width>,(@<ch_list>)
Example: If the Breadboard Module is in slot 1, the following command
configures channel 002 as a byte:
CONFigure:DIGital:WIDTh BYTE, (@1002)
Example: If the Breadboard Module is in slot 7, the following command
configures channels 001 and 002 together as a word:
CONFigure:DIGital:WIDTh WORD, (@7001)
After either channel has been configured as a byte, or both have been
configured as a word, you must then specify the target channel for input
operations, using the CONFigure:DIGital:DIRection command. The
syntax is:
CONFigure:DIGital:DIRection <direction>, (@<ch_list>)
Example: If the Breadboard Module is in slot 3, and channel 002 has been
configured as a byte, the following command configures channel 002 as a
byte- width input:
CONFigure:DIGital:DIRection INPut, (@3002)
Example: If the Breadboard Module is in slot 5, and both channels have
been configured as a word, the following command configures the
combined channel as a word- width input (note that it is only necessary to
specify the first channel in SCPI, once the word width has been specified):
CONFigure:DIGital:DIRection INPut, (@5001)
Once the data width and direction have been configured, the data (either
word, byte or bit) is read using the SENSe command. The syntax is:
SENSe:DIGital:DATA:<width>? (@<ch_list>)
Example: If the Breadboard Module is in slot 3, and channel 002 has been
configured as a byte input, the following command returns the value of the
channel 002 byte as an integer:
SENSe:DIGital:DATA:BYTE? (@3002)
