Introduction to the 34980A

Control Output

In addition to signal routing and measurement, you can also use the
34980A to provide simple control outputs. For example, you can control
external high- power relays using the GP switch modules or a digital
output channel.

The Digital Modules

The 34950A, 34951A and 34952A digital modules add two additional
measurement control output capabilities to the system: digital output and
voltage (DAC) output. For more information, see the individual User's
Guides included with those modules.
The digital modules also contain digital input and event totalizer
capabilities which are described in more detail on
Digital Output
The digital modules have multiple non- isolated 8- bit input/output ports
which you can use for writing digital patterns. Each port has a separate
channel number on the module and contains 8- bits. You can combine
ports to output 16- or 32- bit words.
