Bit 6 [7…0] represents the former analog jumper.
1 = default control mode is analog
0 = default control mode is digital
Procedure for changing default digital operation to default analog operation:
Read ‘IOStatus’
Add 64 to the read value
Write ‘IOStatus’
Procedure for changing default analog operation to default digital operation:
Read ‘IOStatus’
Subtract 64 from the read value
Write ‘IOStatus’
