BIT CLEAR Bn
The Bit Clear command will clear to a logic zero an output bit described by the
argument 'n'. Clearing a bit may represent either a 0 volt or +5 volt output, depending
on whether an Invert command (I16) has been sent. If data is active high (default
condition), then Bit Clear outputs 0 volts. When multiple Bit Clear commands are
used in the same command string, an Execute command (X) must follow each
command.
The bit which is being cleared must have been defined as an output by the
Configure command in order to be valid, otherwise the Digital232 will generate a
Conflict Error.
The Strobe and Inhibit output lines are not pulsed when the Bit Clear command
is sent.
Bn
Bit n (1 thru 40) is cleared to a logic 0
