Chapter 5
DIGital:DATAn[:type]:HANDshake[:MODE]
[SOURce:]DIGital:DATAn[:BYTE]:HANDshake[:MODE] <mode> selects the 
type of handshake and defines the timing relationship between the control (CTL) 
line, the flag (FLG) line, and when data is transferred in either direction between the 
Digital I/O Module and a peripheral on the 8-bit port n.
[SOURce:]DIGital:DATAn:WORD:HANDshake[:MODE] <mode> selects the 
handshake mode used on the 16-bit port n.
[SOURce:]DIGital:DATAn:LWORd:HANDshake[:MODE] <mode> selects the 
handshake mode used on the 32-bit port n.
Parameters
• Handshake modes are described in Chapter 3.
• The handshake mode must be the same on all ports used in a multiple port 
operation.
• The keyword :LW32 may be used instead of :LWORd when using the 
downloaded version of the SCPI driver.
• DIGital:DATAn[:type]HANDshake is the sequence used for commands 
relating to data handshaking at port n. The port number n must be the last 
character of the keyword without spaces.
• NONE deletes all automatic data handshaking between the Digital I/O module 
and the peripheral. For custom handshaking, the control and the flag lines are 
controlled by the [SOURce:]DIGital:CONTroln and MEASure:DIGital:FLAGn 
commands.
• Related Commands: [SOURce:]DIGital:CONTroln:POLarity, 
[SOURce:]DIGital:CONTroln[:VALue], [SOURce:]DIGital:FLAGn:POLarity, 
[SOURce:]DIGital:HANDshaken:DELay
• *RST Condition: Mode is NONE on all ports.
Example DIG:DATA3:HAND LEAD sets the handshake mode to LEADing on 8-bit port 3.
