Data ports and related signals
Combined ports (Port E and Port F)
A combination of ports A / B and ports C /D provides two additional 16-bit and 8-bit-wide bidirectional
ports. The combined ports are termed ports E and F, respectively.
Definition of port E and port F
The properties of the combined ports are as follows:
 The signal direction (input or output) is according to the configuration of ports A, B, C, and D. To
write data to port E (F), both port C and port D (A and B) must be configured as output ports.
 Data can be read and written using the CONTrol:HANDler:E[:DATA] and
CONTrol:HANDler:F[:DATA] commands.
 The bit order is D3 ... D0 C3 ... C0 (port E) and B7 ... B0 A7 ... A0 (port F).
