SENSe Subsystem

The SENSe Subsystem configures Event Detection in the HP E1459A Module. The HP E1459A has an event detector for each 16 bit Port to detect positive or negative edge transitions and whether new data is available:

DAV

New data is available on the specified digital input port(s).

NEDGe

Negative Edge transition occurred on a specified digital input

 

channel(s).

PEDGe

Positive Edge transition occurred on a specified digital input

 

channel(s).

For details on using the SENSe Subsystem, refer to Chapter 2.
