Port C Pin Assignments
6025 only
The signals assigned to port C depend on howthe 82C55A is configured.
In mode 0, or no handshaking configuration, port C is configured as two
4-bit I/O ports. In modes 1 and 2, or handshaking configuration, port C
is usedfor status and handshaking signal swith any leftover lines available
forgeneral-purpose I/O. Table 4-4 summarizes the port C signal
assignments foreach configuration. You can also use ports A and B in
differentmodes; the ta ble does not showevery possible combination.
Note Table4-4 shows both the port C signal assignments and the terminology
correlation betweendifferent documentation sources. The 82C55A terminology refers
to the different82C55A con figurationsas modes, wh ereas NI-DAQ,ComponentWorks,
LabWindows/CVI,and LabVIEW documentation refers to them as handshaking and no
handshaking.
