External pull-up/pull-down capability

You can also place an external pull-up resistor on any of the DIO bits, which enables you to pull the DIO bit up
to a voltage that exceeds the internal +5 V pull-up voltage.

When using external pull-up resistors, be aware of the following:

 You should either remove the J6 jumper, or store it by attaching it to one of the three pins.
 When using external pull-up resistors, be aware that the internal resistors cause a slight voltage impedance

shift to digital lines in the "on" state as various lines change between the on/off states.

Counter input

The

CTR0

and

CTR1

terminals are 32-bit event counters that can accept frequency inputs up to 1 MHz. The

internal counter increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high.

Ground

The analog ground (

AGND

) terminals provide a common ground for all analog channels.

The digital ground (

GND

) terminals provide a common ground for the digital and counter channels and the

power terminal.
