:DIGital:LINE<n>:STATe 
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.

Usage 
:DIGital:LINE<n>:STATe <state> 
:DIGital:LINE<n>:STATe? 
 
The digital I/O line (1 to 6) 
Clear the bit (bit low): 0 
Set the bit (bit high): 1 
Details 
When the line mode for a digital I/O line is set to digital output (:DIG:LINE<n>:MODE DIG, OUT), 
you can set the line high or low using the <state> parameter. When the line mode is set to digital 
input (:DIG:LINE<n>:MODE DIG, IN), you can query the state of the digital input line. 
When a reset occurs, the digital line state can be read as high because the digital line is reset to a 
digital input. A digital input floats high if nothing is connected to the digital line. 
This returns the integer equivalent values of the binary states on all six digital I/O lines. 
Set the state to zero (0) to clear the bit; set the state to one (1) to set the bit. 
 
Example 1 
 
:DIG:LINE1:MODE DIG, OUT 
:DIG:LINE1:STAT 1 
Set digital I/O line 1 as a digital output line. 
Sets line 1 (bit B1) of the digital I/O port high. 
Example 2 
 
:DIG:LINE1:STAT? 
Set digital I/O line 1 as a digital input line. 
Query the state of line 1 on the digital I/O port.
