How to do wired-or output in pattern i/o with the 6534?

[Jarvis 324]

For the 6534, there is no option in DIG_Grp_Config to set the output port into wired-or mode as there is for DIG_Prt_Config. How do I set the output port I am using for a DIG_Block_Out transfer into wired-or mode?

Hi Jarvis,

Unfortunately, wired-or can only be used in an unstrobed operation (no pattern I/O). This means it can only be configured by the DIG_Prt_Config and not DIG_Block_Config. The following knowledge base and its links are helpful in understanding how it works with the 6534. Hope that helps clear things up.

Hi Jarvis,

It's not covered in the manual. I found it covered in one of the KBs I linked. I agree that it should be covered in the manual though. I'll put in a request to update this section. Thanks for your input. Have a good day.
