3.4.2. I/O

#	Brief Description	Name	Arguments (in C Syntax)				Full Description
8	Read the inputs of a	ReadInputs	(long CardHandle,	Reads 5 or 6 chip's logical inputs, the two flags of its
	chip, the EventFlags of		short* Inputs,	EncoderEvents, and, in case of Chip #1, the Voltage Failure.
	its two encoders, and		short*EncoderEventFlags)	Inputs:
	the Voltage Failure.
				For Chip #1: Bit #n corresponds to logical input #n+1 (n = 0,...,4).
						Bit #5 corresponds to Voltage Failure (1 means that
						Voltage Failure = true).
				For Chip #2: Bit #n corresponds to logical input #n+6. (n = 0,...,5).
				EncoderEventFlags: Bit #0 corresponds to Encoder1 (A or C).
							Bit #1 corresponds to Encoder2 (B or D).
				Notes:
				1. Chip #1 has 5 logical inputs (marked 1–5).
				Chip #2 has 6 logical inputs (marked 6–11).
				2. When an encoder event occurs, its software signal is held until
				ReadInputs is called. Afterwards, the software signal is cleared,
				unless the signal still lasts. This mechanism ensures that
				ReadInputs will hold the last encoder event (in
				EncoderEventFlags) even though the event is already over.
9	Write to chip's outputs.	WriteOutputs	(long CardHandle,	Meaningful only when the active chip is Chip1, in which case its
			short Outputs)	three general outputs (marked 1,2,3) are written.
				Outputs: Bit #n corresponds to general output #n+1 (n=0,1,2).
				Notes:
				1. Due	to hardware limitations, the current status of Outputs should
				be kept in order to be passed as argument in the functions
				ResetPositionCounter and RequestPositionCounter (named there
				OutputsMirror, refer to section 3.5.5, functions #25–26).
				2. Chip2 has no general outputs.
Note: The description of the common arguments is in section 3.6
