Mode 2—Bidirectional Bus
© National Instruments Corporation
Mode 2 has an 8-bit bus that can transfer both input and output data
without changing the configuration. The data transfers are synchronized
with handshaking lines in port C. This mode uses only port A; however,
port B can be used in either mode 0 or mode 1 while port A is configured
for mode 2.
The control word written to the CNFG Register to configure port A as
a bidirectional data bus in mode 2 is shown as follows. If port B is
configured for mode 0, then PC2, PC1, and PC0 of port C can be used
as extra input or output lines.
