trailing edge of the input pulse is
recognized as an event. In KYZ
mode, both leading and trailing
edges of the input pulse are
recognized as separate events.

INVERTING (N.C.)
NORMAL For the normal polarity, the open
to closed transition is considered
a pulse. For the inverting polarity,

10 ms
The amount of time while the
state of the digital input should
not change to be recognized as a
new state. Too low debounce time
could produce multiple events on
the input change.
The debounce time is applied the same for all digital inputs. If you change
the debounce time for a digital input, the same debounce time is
automatically assigned to the others.
