digio.line[N].state
This function sets a digital I/O line high or low.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
digio.line[N].state = state
state = digio.line[N].state
Digital I/O trigger line (1 to 6)
Set the line low: digio.STATE_LOW or 0
Set the line high:
or
Details
When a reset occurs, the digital line state can be read as high because the digital line is reset to a digital input
(see the mode command). A digital input floats high if nothing is connected to the digital line.
Set the state to zero (0) to clear the bit; any non-zero value sets the bit.
Example
digio.line[1].mode = digio.MODE_DIGITAL_OUT
digio.line[1].state = digio.STATE_HIGH
Sets line 1 (bit B1) of the digital I/O port high.

digio.readport()
This function reads the digital I/O port.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Function Yes
Usage
data = digio.readport()
The present value of the input lines on the digital I/O port
Details
The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates the value of the input lines on the I/O port. The least
significant bit (bit B1) of the binary number corresponds to digital I/O line 1; bit B6 corresponds to digital I/O line
6.
For example, a returned value of 42 has a binary equivalent of 101010, which indicates that lines 2, 4, 6 are high
(1), and the other lines are low (0).
