Brief Description The R&S®TS-PIO4 digital functional test module contains flexibly programmable 32-bit digital inputs and 32-bit digital outputs that are able to acquire and stimulate static or dynamic digital patterns. The R&S®TS-PIO4 digital functional test module is a compact PCI/PXI module that takes up only one slot on the R&S®CompactTSVP test system versatile platform. The characteristics of the digital lines can be configured with 14 bit resolution levels per port. In addition, the levels of the output ports can be programmed to meet application requirements. The input ports have a programmable threshold and hysteresis to match the specifications of common digital logic families.
