Programming
Statements
All of the system programming statements are explained in
Chapter 5 of the System Owner's Manual. Only three of
them apply to the Digital I/O:
INITIALIZE.SYSTBM(statefile) * where statefile is a string
variable that is equal to a State filename that you assigned
when operating from the Soft Front Panel. This statement
initializes both the Digital Input and Digital Output to the
settings contained in the previously created State file. All
other instruments in your system are also initialized. The
INITIALIZE.SYSTEM statement should be used carefully
because it affects all the settings of the Digital I/O.
Whenever it is used in your program, it will override the
results of any previously issued instrument statements. If
this statement in not used in your program, the Digital I/O
will be initialized with the factory default settings (see
Table 1-1).
NOTE
The Rear Panel information contained in the State file must
agree with your present hardware set-up. Rear Panel mode is
described in Chapter 4 of the System Owner's Manual.
enables tne output cits on tne Digital
Output. This statement also enables any other output
instruments in the system. It is recommended that you
select a base, set the logic sense, number of bits, and the
start bit before enabling the output. This ensures that the
output data will be formatted correctly before it is applied
or sent to the external device.
DISABLE.SYSTEWI -disables the output bits on the Digital
Output (into a tri-state condition). This statement also
disables all other output instruments in your system.
