D7 Thru D0 group. Each of the two channel groups can be set to a different threshold if desired.

Values greater than the set threshold are high (H) and values less than the set threshold are low (L).

If the Thresholds softkey is set to User, press the User softkey for the channel group, then turn the Entry knob to set the logic threshold. There is one User softkey for each group of channels.
