There are 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. This DIO page of the System Configurator can show their status. When the “Start” button is pressed, the 8 DI will try to retrieve external inputs, then those pins having positive inputs will mark respective radial buttons inside the “Digital Input Status” block, others will make their radial buttons empty. On the other hand, when users use mouse, finger or stylus to check some of the 8 check boxes, the level of the related DO pins will be changed to positive level. The DO pin status will sustain until users change them again.
