The Differential I/O Group 10 has 3 Channels (Line Pairs 13 & 14, 15 & 16, and 17 & 18) that can be config- ured as an output by the user and One Channel (Line Pairs 11 & 12) that is configured as output only. (SCK and DIR on the Control Module.) These outputs can be configured as high speed outputs or 0 to 5VDC general purpose outputs by using the IOS variable. The high speed clock outputs have the following restrictions:

Line Pairs 11/12, 13/14 and 15/16 can be configured to Step Clock/Direction or Up/Down.

Line Pair 17/18 is limited to 1MHz Reference Out (17) and 10MHz Reference Out (18).
