  • Page 31: Function Description

    5.1 Function description of the R&S TS-PIO2 module 5.1.1 General The Analog/Digital IO Module R&S TS-PIO2 makes 16 IO channels (CH1 to CH16) available. The channels are arranged in four groups from A to D. The last output chan- nel of each group (CH4, CH8, CH12 and CH16) has special properties.
  • Page 32 Function Description R&S TS-PIO2 Function description of the R&S TS-PIO2 module The individual modes are described in greater detail in the following chapters. Some of the settings for a channel can be made channel-specifically or group-specifi- cally. The following illustration is a graphical representation showing the possible set- tings for channel outputs in group A.

  • Page 36: Signal Wiring

    5.1.3.1 General All signal wiring of the R&S TS-PIO2 module is performed with the aid of relays. Since relays have an operate and release time as well as a bounce time, you should wait until the signals are stable in a test program after wiring connections. Function rspio2_IsDebounced can be used to determine whether the switching processes are complete.
  • Page 37 ® Function Description R&S TS-PIO2 Function description of the R&S TS-PIO2 module 5.1.3.2 Module ground wiring The module ground (potential-free common reference point of IO channels, AGND) can be connected via relays with the front side connector (LO) and with each line of the analog bus (ABxy).

Function rspio2_ConfigureChannelCurrentLimit facilitates this setting. 5.1.6 Output of static voltages In the basic state of the module, all outputs are in the „Analog“ operating mode. If nec- essary, this mode can also be selected with function rspio2_ConfigureChannelMode.
  • Page 41 Function rspio2_SetAnalogWaveformMemory is used to transfer the values to the R&S TS-PIO2 module. As in the case of digital bit patterns, a maximum of 5000 values can be written to memory. If fewer values have been stored in memory than sequence control needs to generate, the last value is repeated.
