DIGital subsystem
The commands in the DIGital subsystem control the digital I/O lines.
:DIGital:LINE<n>:MODE
This command sets the mode of the digital I/O line to be a digital line, trigger line, or synchronous line and sets
the line to be input, output, or open-drain.

Details
You can specify the line type and line direction parameters to configure each digital I/O line into one
of the following modes:
•
Digital open-drain, output, or input
•
Trigger open-drain, output, or input
•
Trigger synchronous master or acceptor
A digital line allows direct control of the digital I/O lines by writing a bit pattern to the lines. A trigger
line uses the digital I/O lines to detect triggers.
