Understanding the Agilent E1330B Digital I/O Module   49
Chapter 4
STRobe The STRobe handshake makes use the CTL line, but not the FLG line. The 
input and output operations are described below.
NONE When handshake is set to NONE, no control or flag lines are used. The 
Digital I/O module will input data or output data when programmed. The I/O 
line is set for output (LOW) before data is output. Data lines programmed 
for output will remain as output until another command is received.
Handshake NONE can be combined with the SCPI commands 
MEASure:DIGital:FLAGn and [SOURce:]DIGital:CONTroln to create 
custom handshakes.
Handshake Timing Handshake timing is set through the SCPI commands 
[SOURce:]DIGital:DATAn[:type]:HANDshake:DELay <time> or 
[SOURce:]DIGital:HANDshakenDELay <time>. Handshake timing is 
generally used for data output operations. Timing for data input affects only 
STRobe handshake modes.
INPUT OUTPUT
1 The Digital I/O module sets the 
I/O
 line HIGH.
1 The Digital I/O module sets 
the I/O line LOW.
2 The Digital I/O module sets CTL 
TRUE.
2 The Digital I/O module places 
the data on the data lines.
3 The peripheral senses the CTL 
line and sets the data lines.
3 After waiting the programmed 
delay time, Td, the Digital I/O 
module sets CTL to TRUE.
4 The Digital I/O module waits the 
programmed time delay, Td, 
after setting CTL TRUE and then 
latches the data. 
4 The peripheral senses the 
CTL line and latches the data.
5 The Digital I/O module then 
returns CTL to FALSE.
5 After waiting the programmed 
delay time, Td, the Digital I/O 
module sets CTL to FALSE.
