4.1.4 Digital I/O Ports
The CR1000 has eight digital I/O ports selectable as binary inputs or control
outputs. These are multi-function ports. Edge timing, switch closure, and high-
frequency pulse functions are introduced in Pulse Sensors
(p. 38) and discussed at
length in Pulse
(p. 312). Other functions include device-driven interrupts,
asynchronous communications and SDI-12 communications. Figure Control and
Monitoring with Digital I/O (p. 42) illustrates a simple application wherein digital
I/O
ports are used to control a device and monitor the state (whether on or off) of
the device.
