4.6 Auxiliary Digital I/O
The eight auxiliary digital I/O lines on ADLINK Switch Modules provide
versatility to users’ control applications. Each digital I/O line can be input, output
or tri-stated. When in output mode, users can still read back the actual logic-
level on the I/O line. All digital lines are pulled-up to 5V with 10k ohm input
resistance.
Note that AUX[2..0] are dual function pins, driving these pins while enabling
handshaking or emergency shutdown functions, may falsely trigger the Switch
Module or external instruments.
