Figure 3-6 shows an example of connections to the digital input and output ports. Digital input
applications include receiving TTL signals and sensing external device states such as the switch
in Figure 3-6. Digital output applications include sending TTL signals and driving external
devices such as the LED shown in Figure 3-6.
