connector will be driven to GND. When the digital output is disabled, the
corresponding connector will be open (open collector/open drain). The

Tool Digital Output Usage
The following example illustrates how to use the digital output. As the
internal output is an open collector, the resistor should be connected to
the power supply according to the load. The size and power of the
resistor depend on the specific use.
Note: It is highly recommended to use a protection diode for inductive
loads as shown below.
There is no current protection on the digital output of
the tool, which can cause permanent damage if the
specified value exceeded.
