46 Understanding the Agilent E1330B Digital I/O Module 
Chapter 4
TRAiling Edge The TRAiling Edge handshake makes use of both the CTL and FLG lines. 
The input and output operations are described below.
INPUT OUTPUT
1 The Digital I/O module senses the 
FLG line and waits for READY.
1 The Digital I/O module checks the 
state of the FLG line (must be 
READY).
2 The Digital I/O module sets the 
I/O
 line HIGH.
2 The Digital I/O module sets the 
I/O line LOW.
3 The Digital I/O module sets CTL 
TRUE.
3 The Digital I/O module places the 
data on the data lines.
4 The peripheral senses the CTL 
line and sets the FLG line to 
BUSY.
4 After waiting the programmed 
delay time, Td, the Digital I/O 
module sets CTL to TRUE.
5 The Digital I/O module senses the 
FLG BUSY and sets the CTL line 
FALSE.
5 The peripheral senses the CTL 
line and sets the FLG line to 
BUSY while it latches the data.
6 The peripheral senses the CTL 
line change and places data on 
the data lines.
6 The peripheral returns the FLG 
line to READY indicating the end 
of data transfer.
7 The peripheral indicates the data 
is valid by returning the FLG line 
to READY.
7 The Digital I/O module senses the 
FLG line in the READY state and 
returns CTL to FALSE.
8 The Digital I/O module senses the 
FLG READY and latches the data.
