Hi, have a piece of R&S test kit. I have a new (to me) accessory for it, but the external serial interface output is disabled in software. To enable it, I need to program the shift register and set a bit (low to activate) I've never had to program a shift register before, There are plenty of videos out there which I will watch, but some pointers would also be appreciated.
The shift register appears to be Serial/Parallel, 12 bit but I'm may be reading it wrong.
The bits are written from 1 to 56, and every 8 bits is a byte. I need to set bit 47, byte 6 low
The interface for accomplishing this is (TTL)
CLK, DATA, STROBE
So do I do this from a laptop, or do I need to make something to program it with ?
