DIO-24 PORTA Register

Reading the DIO-24 PORTA Register returns the logic state of the eight digital I/O lines
constituting Port A of the DIO-24 circuitry, that is, PA<7..0>.  If Port A is configured for output,
the DIO-24 PORTA Register can be written to in order to control the eight digital I/O lines
constituting Port A.  See DIO-24 Circuitry Programming Considerations later in this chapter for
information on how to configure Port A for input or output.
