Instructions

1. Digital Inputs Variable - Select or type in a variable that will receive a 1 when a signal is detected in the appropriate channel.

2. Digital Inputs Bit - Select which bit within the variable should be set if a signal is detected in that digit port. Setting the bit selection to nothing will cause a 1 or 0 to be used. Setting the bit to 2 will cause the variables value to contain a 1 or 0 in the 3rd bit (4 value) of the variable. Note that setting a bit will NOT affect any other bits. Using this you can construct a binary number using a single bit per channel.

3. Digital Outputs Variable - Select or type in a variable that contains a non-zero number when a signal should be produced in the appropriate digital out channel/pin.

4. Digital Outputs Bit - Select which bit should be tested in the variable to determine if a signal is to be produced in the desired channel. Selecting a bit allows you to use output a binary number using several channels/pins.

5. Analog Input Variable - Select or type in a variable that will receive the analog channel's value. The actual value being read from the analog channel is displayed next to the variable dropdown in an inactive textbox.

6. Ratiometric - Select if your analog measurements are Ratiometric. Ratiometric refers to the output voltage of the sensor being a ratio of the input voltage. For example, if you double the input voltage then the output voltage will also double.

7. Input Sensitivity - select how sensitive analog voltage measurements should be. The default value of 10 should suffice for most applications.
