Digital Input Operation
•
From the front-panel, you can read data from the built-in digital I/O
bits/port (numbered 090 through 094) or any one of the 8-bit ports on
a digital I/O module or multifunction module.
•
From the remote interface, you can read data from the individual bit
channels and 8-, 16-, or 32-bit ports on a digital I/O module or
multifunction module, as well as from the built-in digital I/O bits/port
(numbered 090 through 094).
•
Instrument reset will set all digital I/O ports in the instrument as
input ports. Pressing Card Reset or issuing a RESET command will
set all ports on the specified module as input ports (ports on other
modules are not affected).

read the data from the port. The data can be displayed as either
decimal or binary (see page 33).

(bit set) will be returned.
OUTPUT 709; “DREAD 402” ! Read data from Port 402.
OUTPUT 709; “VIEW 403”
! View a bit channel 4.
