CONTrol:AUXiliary:C[:DATA]). Up to 2 x 8 = 16 additional channel bits are available.
<numeric_value>
Decimal value .
Range [def. unit]
0 to 255 [–]
The transferred values correspond to the following states of the Universal
Interface connector:
0 – no channel-dependent (dynamic) signal at any of the pins A7 ... A0 or B7
... B0; the static configuration of the output ports A and B is unchanged
1 – additional dynamic output signal at pin A0 or B0
2 – additional dynamic output signal at pin A1 or B1
3 – additional dynamic output signal at pin A0 and A1 or B0 and B1
...
255 – additional dynamic output signal at pins A7 ... A0 or B7 ... B0
*RST value
0 (no dynamic signal)

Example:
CONTrol:HANDler:A:DATA 192
Write a static bit pattern 1100 0000 to port A.
INSTrument:NSELect 1; :CONTrol:AUXiliaty:A:DATA 1
INSTrument:NSELect 2; :CONTrol:AUXiliaty:A:DATA 2
INSTrument:NSELect 3; :CONTrol:AUXiliaty:A:DATA 3
Select channel no. 1, define a bit pattern 1 for channel 1. Repeat this for
channels no. 2 and 3, using the bit patterns 10 and 11, respectively.
While channel 1 is measured, the output port A is configured according to the
bit pattern 1100 0001. While channels no. 2 and 3 are measured, the bit
patterns are 1100 0010 and 1100 0011, respectively.
CONTrol:AUXiliary:C[:DATA] <numeric_value>
Sets or queries a channel-dependent eight-bit decimal value (channel bits) to control up to eight
independent output signals at the USER CONTROL connector (pins 8 to 11 and 16 to 19). The output
signals are 3.3 V TTL signals which can be used to differentiate between up to 256 independent states.
By default pins 16 to 19 are not used as channel bits (OUTPut<Ch>:UPORt:ECBits OFF), which leaves
16 possible states.
Channel bit definition and activation
The channel bits have the following properties:
 After a *RST of the analyzer all channel bits (including the value for the active, sweeping channel
no. 1) are set to zero; no signal is applied to pins 8 to 11 of the USER CONTROL connector and
pins 16 to 19 are not used as extra channel bits.
 The value defined with CONTrol:AUXiliary:C[:DATA] is assigned to the active channel
(INSTrument:NSELect <Ch>). Setting the value does not change the analyzer state.
 The signals at the USER CONTROL connector reflect the channel bits of the measuring channel,
i.e. the channel for which the analyzer performs a sweep. This channel is not necessarily identical
with the active channel.
 The signals are switched on as soon as a measurement (sweep) in a channel with non-zero
