Digital Output Buffer
The digital output buffer (DOB) is a circular buffer that contains up to 32 elements. The
output from the buffer is 4-bits wide, and the outputs are CMOS (0-5V) compatible.
The data in Command 1 is entered as decimal representation of the digital value that is
output. For example, 0=0000, 5=0101, and 15=1111. At the beginning of each sample, a
pointer into the digital output buffer is incremented and the next available data is sent
to the output lines.
The electrical characteristics of the digital outputs are:
Voutput-high ‚ 3.7V @ M400uA
Voutput-low 0.65V @ 1.6mA
The number of times that the DOB outputs the contents of the buffer depends on the
number of data elements defined in Command 1 and the number of samples defined
in Command 3.
Digital Output Buffer Example
Command 1 list is {1,31,5,1,2,3,4,5}
where:
1=Channel Setup.
31=DIG OUT.
5=Five data elements.
1=0001 (digital nibble).
2=0010 (digital nibble).
3=0011 (digital nibble).
4=0100 (digital nibble).
5=0101 (digital nibble).

Command 3 list is {3,1,100}
where:
3=Sample and Trigger Setup.
1=One second sample time.
100=One hundred samples.
(Trigger Type defaults to manual
triggering.)
