About Digital Outputs
Digital output resources are used to send digital signals to external switches and logic devices.
Digital outputs can be monitored and changed from the Station Manager Digital I/Os window, or with the
MPT Digital Output process.
How to Create Digital Outputs
1. In the Station Builder navigation pane, select Digital Outputs.
2. In the Hardware Input Resources list, select the resource you want to send digital outputs through, and
then click +.
3. In the Internal name box, select or type the desired name.

The User, Action, or Application selection:
• Allows you to manually change the resource value with the Station Manager application’s DI/Os panel.
• Allows you to configure an action for the resource with the Station Manager application’s Event-Action
Editor.
• Allows other applications (such as the Digital Output process in the MultiPurpose TestWare application)
to use the resource and control its sequence of execution in a test procedure.
The Action or Application selection:
• Allows you to configure an action for the resource with the Station Manager application’s Event-Action
Editor.
• Allows other applications (such as the Digital Output process in the MultiPurpose TestWare application)
to use the resource and control its sequence of execution in a test procedure.
The Application Only selection allows other applications (such as the Digital Output process in the
MultiPurpose TestWare application) to use the resource and control its sequence of execution in a test
procedure.
The Calculation selection causes the resource to appear in the tree view of the Station Manager
Calculation Editor. The resource is then controlled by the calculation, so that neither the Station Manager
or MultiPurpose TestWare application can assign a value to it.
