driving the output turns off then on again).
Master Shutdown
If Master Shutdown is enabled on the output, the output will be turned off
while the Master Shutdown channel is true.
The Master Shutdown channel is configured in the Global Setup.
Stay Alive During Standby Mode
Up to four outputs can be configured to stay alive (i.e. remain turned on)
during the PDM low power standby mode.
Refer to the Standby Mode section for more information.
Linked High Speed Wiper Output (For output 9 only)
The PDM Version 2 hardware has additional functionality to simplify
windscreen wiper motor control.
Linked output control can be enabled and a linked channel can be selected
in the settings for Output 9.
If this setting is enabled then Output 9 will be held off while the linked
channel used for the high speed wiper winding is turned on.
See the Windscreen Wipers section for more detail.
Tips:

There is a Master Retry feature available in Global Setup

Ensure that the maximum current has been set appropriately by
checking that the Output Load value is less than 100% under all
operating conditions.

The wire used must be capable of carrying the current specified in the
maximum current setting. See Wire Specification.

Set the maximum current well clear of the normal operating current of
the device but within the current rating of the wire. Use a larger wire to
achieve this if necessary. For example, for a device that draws no more
than 5 ampere (except at start-up) use a wire that is rated at 8 ampere
and set the maximum current to 8 ampere to give a clear margin.

Consider the voltage drop of the wire when selecting the wire size.
Sometimes this dictates that a larger wire gauge is needed than the
current rating would suggest.

Setting the current close to the normal current of the device to try and
protect the device is unlikely to be effective and could result in an
inadvertent shutdown. The purpose of the maximum current setting is
