[SENSe:]DIGital:MEMory:STOP

34980A

[SENSe:]DIGital:MEMory:STOP

Syntax

[SENSe:]DIGital:MEMory:STOP (@<ch_list>)

Description

This command stops a buffered (memory) input operation in progress on the 34950A Digital I/O Module. To resume a stopped buffered read, send the [SENSe:]DIGital:MEMory:STARt command. The width of the first channel in each bank (i.e., channels 101 and 201) controls the width of the memory operations (64K x 8 Bits, 64K x 16 Bits, or 32K x 32 Bits). The first channel on the specified bank must be configured as an input prior to starting a buffered read (see CONFigure:DIGital command).

Used With:

  • 34950A Digital I/O Module

Parameters

Name

Type

Range of Values

Default Value

<ch_list>

Numeric

The first channel on a bank in the form (@sccc).
Select from s101 or s201.

This is a required parameter

Remarks

  • Depending on the width specified (see CONFigure:DIGital:WIDTh command), the channel numbering is modified as shown below. For example, if you specify the width as a 16-bit WORD, channels 101 and 102 are combined and addressed collectively as channel 101.  

 

Bank 2

Bank 1

BYTE (8 Bits):

Ch 204

Ch 203

Ch 202

Ch 201

Ch 104

Ch 103

Ch 102

Ch 101

WORD (16 Bits):

Ch 203

Ch 201

Ch 103

Ch 101

LWORd (32 Bits):

Ch 201

Ch 101

  • This command overrides the pattern comparison mode (see [SENSe:]DIGital:MEMory:COMPare:ACTion command); therefore, you can use the [SENSe:]DIGital:MEMory:STOP command to stop the buffered read if the bank is configured to stop on a pattern compare.

Example

The following program segment starts a buffered read on channels 101 and 201 on the module in slot 3 and then stops the read.

CONF:DIG:WIDTH WORD,(@3101,3201)  !Width = 16 bits
DIG:MEM:SAMP:COUN 200,(@3101,3201)  !Sample count = 200
DIG:MEM:ENAB ON,(@3101,3201)  !Enable buffered reads
DIG:MEM:STAR (@3101,3201)  !Start buffered reads
DIG:MEM:STOP (@3101,3201)
 !Stop buffered reads
