O- Set Digital Outputs

TYPE	System
EXECUTION	Immediate
SYNTAX	Obank1,	Set any of the 32 digital outputs (separated into four 8-bit banks) to a
	bank2,	specified setting, where bankn (for n = 1, 2, 3, 4) is an argument in the
	bank3,	form of the number nnn such that 000 < nnn < 255 when converted to
	bank4	binary format represents the desired settings for the 8-bit bank.
	O?	Query current state of digital output.
DESCRIPTION

The Set Digital Outputs (O) command may be used to force any of the 32 digital outputs (separated into four 8-bit banks) on the unit to a certain setting. The Bank to Digital Output mapping is as follows:

Bank	Digital Output
1	01 - 08
2	09 - 16
3	17 - 24
4	25 - 32

Each argument bankn represents the desired bit mapping for the corresponding bank of digital outputs. The argument is a decimal number, which, when converted to binary format is the desired settings for that bank of digital outputs. For example, an argument of 201 for bank2 would be interpreted in binary as 11001001 (with

1 as active high and 0 as active low). This would affect the digital outputs of Bank 2 as follows:

Bank 2 Digital Outputs

9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16
high	high	low	low	high	low	low	high

Note: The setting of a bank will force the digital outputs to the specified setting regardless of the current state of the digital outputs (such as if an alarm has been assigned to the output).

If it is desired to not affect a certain bank (maybe because it is being used for alarm outputs), a value of 999 can be used for the argument for that bank. This will effectively “mask off” that bank from being updated.

There are 8 digital input lines and 32 digital output lines available on a rear panel DB50 connector. The digital output can be controlled either “automatically” via the alarm settings or manually using the Set Digital Outputs (O) command. To determine the digital output state, use the User Status (U) commands.

The Set Digital Outputs (O) command allows you to enter an output range and specify whether the output should be cleared (logic false) or set (logic true). This command will force the specified digital output to the specified condition. A 1 will drive the corresponding digital output(s) high. Conversely, a 0 will drive the corresponding digital output(s) low.

Each digital output line will drive 5 standard TTL loads. All digital input lines are one-eighth (0.125) TTL loads. All inputs are protected against damage from high static voltages. Normal precautions should be taken to limit the input voltages to 0.3 to 5.3 volts. All digital I/O lines are referenced to digital ground.
