CONFigure:DIGital[:BYTE] (@<ch_list>)
Only supported on digital I/O channels (channel 01 and 02) in DAQM907A multifunction module.
Configures the instrument to scan the specified digital I/O channels on the multifunction module as byte data, but
does not initiate the scan. This command redefines the scan list.
The CONFigure command does not place the instrument in the "wait-for-trigger" state. Use the INITiate or READ?
command in conjunction with CONFigure to place the instrument in the "wait-for-trigger" state.
Parameter Typical return
(none) (none)
Configures the instrument to scan on specific digital channels as byte data:
CONF:DIG:BYTE (@101:102)
– Note that if you include both digital input channels in the scan list, the instrument will read data from both ports
simultaneously with the same time stamp. This allows you to externally combine the two 8-bit value into one 16-
bit value.
CONFigure:DIODe (@<ch_list>)
Only supported on DAQM901A, DAQM902A, and DAQM908A multiplexer modules.
Configures the channels for diode measurements, but they do not initiate the scan. This command redefines the
scan list.
The CONFigure command does not place the instrument in the "wait-for-trigger" state. Use the INITiate or READ?
command in conjunction with CONFigure to place the instrument in the "wait-for-trigger" state.
Parameter Typical return
(none) (none)
Configure and read a default diode measurement on channel 101:
CONF:DIOD (@101)
READ?
Typical Response: +1.32130000E-01
– The range and resolution are fixed for diode tests: the range is 1 VDC (with a 1 mA current source output).
– The voltage is displayed on the front panel if it is between 0 and 5.05 V. If the signal exceeds 5.05 V, the front
panel shows "OPEN" when Monitor is selected (or "Overload" when View is selected), and the value returned from
SCPI is 9.9E37.
– The FETCh?, READ?, and MEASure:DIODe? queries return the measured voltage, regardless of its value.
