Understanding the Digital
Outputs Window

The Properties window for the Digital Outputs branch looks like this

Use the Digital Outputs window to name, monitor, and toggle the status of the
eight digital outputs.

You can edit parameters for both an online and an offline Digital Outputs
branch. However, you can monitor status, and execute direct commands
(executed through the Ultraware interface, rather than through a compiled,
loaded and executed program) only for a Digital Outputs branch that is the child
of an online drive.

The following parameters can be entered and edited in the Digital Outputs
window.

The following display is the default status for a Digital Outputs branch of an
online drive.
