Calculating the Decimal equivalent
If an output is to be switched On the bit for the output is set to 1, if it’s to be left Off it is set to 0.
The decimal is created from the byte created by setting the bits for turning the outputs on.
The table below indicates the bit pattern and decimal values for the byte when one output is to be
turned on at a time.

To control multiple outputs add together the decimal value for each output to be switched on and use
the total as the Binary Output value.
Example: To switch both Outputs 3 and 7 On the binary value will be 68 (64 + 4 = 68).
