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.
