A byte represents an eight-bit binary number (11111111),
therefore each byte can represent eight I/O lines. Each bit is
assigned a bit position and a weight (value). Refer to Table 3.3.

To set an output to a HIGH state the corresponding bit position
must be set to a "1". Conversely to set an output LOW the
corresponding bit position must be set to a "0". When reading I/O
lines, any bit set to a "0" indicates the corresponding I/O line is in
the LOW state and any bit set to a "1" indicates the corresponding
I/O line is in the HIGH state.

other outputs to a LOW state (shown in bold face) -

Read I/O Lines Command
The Read I/O Lines command returns two data bytes that reflect
the state of the I/O lines. The first data byte contains the most
significant I/O lines (15 - 8). The second data byte contains the least
significant I/O lines (7 - 0). If a bit is a "0" then the state of that I/O
line is LOW. If a bit is a "1" then the state of that I/O line is HIGH.
Command: !{addr}RD
Argument: none
Response: the state of the 16 I/O lines in two 8 bit bytes. (shown in
bold face)
ASCII Example: !0RDÈR
Dec. Example: !0RD<200><82>
Hex. Example: !0RD<C8><52>
Bin. Example: !0RD<11001000><01010010>
Description: Read module 0's (decimal 48) I/O lines. The first byte
indicates that I/O lines #15, 14, & 11 are HIGH and I/O lines # 13,
12, 10, 9, & 8 are LOW; the second byte indicates that I/O lines # 6,
4, & 1 are HIGH and I/O lines # 7, 5, 3, 2, & 0 are LOW.
Set Output Lines Command
The Set Output Lines command is used to set the states of the
output lines. This command requires two data bytes. These data
bytes specify the output state of each output line. The first data byte
represents the most significant I/O lines (15 - 8). The second data
byte represents the least significant I/O lines (7 - 0). If a bit position
is set to a "0" then the state of that output line will be set LOW. If a
bit position is set to a "1" then the state of that output line will be set
HIGH.
NOTE: Refer to the "Define I/O Lines" command to define an I/O line
as an output.
Command: !{addr}SO
Argument: {I/O
msb}{I/O lsb}
Response: none
ASCII Example: !0SOUA
Dec. Example: !0SO<85><65>
Hex. Example: !0SO <55><41>
Bin. Example: !0SO<01010101><01000001>
Description: Set module 0's (decimal 48) output lines. The first byte
sets output lines #14, 12, 10, & 8 HIGH and output lines #15, 13,
11, & 9 LOW; the second byte sets output lines #6, & 0 HIGH and
output lines # 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1 LOW. Note: If any of these lines are
defined as inputs the bit settings are ignored.
