Configuring Digital Inputs
You can wire digital input channels to the following variable type and data structures:
 BOOL (the <variable_name> gives the input state)
 TK9_DI_Compact (provides three elements)
 TK9_DI_Full (six elements)
The structures provide additional information about the input, such as line fault status
and discrepancy status. You can also define custom thresholds for digital inputs.
