MEASure:DIGital:BYTE? (@< >)

Configure the instrument to read the specified digital input channels on the multifunction module and immediately sweep through the scan list one time. Note that this command also redefines the scan list. The readings are sent directly to the instrument’s output buffer but the readings vz

stored in reading memory. The digital input channels are numbered “ 01” (LSB) and “ 02” (MSB), where represents the slot number.

Note that if you include both digital input channels in the scan list, the instrument will read data from both ports simultaneously with the same time stamp. This will allow you to externally combine the two 8-bit value into one 16-bit value.

[SENSe:]DIGital:DATA:{BYTEWORD}? [(@<x >)]

Read an 8-bit byte or a 16-bit word digital pattern from the specified digital input channels. If you are going to read both ports simultaneously (WORD), you must send the command to port 01 (LSB) and neither port can be included in the scan list. The digital input channels are numbered “ 01” (LSB) and “ 02” (MSB), where represents the slot number.

The output from this command is affected by the FORMat:READing commands (see “Reading Format Commands” on page 231).
