Appendix B Using the Digital Port
104 Keysight N6700 User’s Guide
Digital Control Port
An 8-pin connector and a quick-disconnect connector plug are provided
on each instrument for accessing the five digital control port functions.
The digital control connector accepts wires sizes from AWG 14 to AWG
30. Note that wire sizes smaller than AWG 24 are not recommended.
Disconnect the connector plug to make your wire connections.
It is good engineering practice to twist and shield all signal wires to and
from the digital connectors. If shielded wire is used, connect only one
end of the shield to chassis ground to prevent ground loops.
The following chart describes the possible pin configuration for the
digital port functions. For a complete description of the electrical
characteristics of the digital I/O port, refer to Appendix A.
Available configurable pins
Digital I/O and Digital In
Pins 1 through 7
External Trigger In/Out
Pins 1 through 7
Fault Out
Pins 1 and 2
Inhibit In
Pin 3
Output State
Pins 4 through 7
Common (⊥)
Pin 8
In addition to the configurable pin functions, the active signal polarity for
each pin is also configurable. When Positive polarity is selected, a logical
true signal is a voltage high at the pin. When Negative polarity is
selected, a logical true signal is a voltage low at the pin.
For a complete description of the electrical characteristics of the digital
port, see Appendix A.
