Using The Analyzer's I/O Port - Agilent Technologies 4396B Gpib Programming Manual

Using the Analyzer's I/O Port

This chapter describes how to use the I/O port of the analyzer with the GPIB. For general
operation of the I/O port, see the
The I/O port on the analyzer's rear panel communicates with external devices (for example, a
handler on a production line).
The I/O port consists of the following 15 TTL compatible signals:
8-bit output
4-bit input
3 grounds
The signals IN 0 to IN 3 and OUT 0 to OUT 7 can be read and set by GPIB commands.
The Instrument BASIC commands
control the 8-bit I/O port without using GPIB commands. This operation is faster
than using an GPIB command. For more information on these commands, see the
