Fast Control Port with MDR 26 Pin Connector

Applikationsberichte

For fast, time-critical settings like frequency changes, the measurement device can be controlled over an additional port. This application note explains the usage of the fast control port (FCP).

 

The FCP is a parallel port that can be operated in either 8-bit mode or 16-bit mode. If activated, frequency and/or amplitude of the device are controlled by the FCP. With FCP, memory is addressed and filled with frequency or amplitude information. To enable and configure the communication over FCP, the device must be configured in advance over SCPI.
