Read status of digital input latch

_PdDInGetStatus(…)function returns current state

of the digital input lines in a single byte and digital
input latch register in the other byte. If the

specified edge was detected, the latch contains “1”
in the appropriate bit.

•

Clear status of digital input latch

_PdDInClearData(…)clears latch register and re-
enables edge detection on the line which previously

caused an event

Acquiring digital signals as analog.

In an application

where you need to acquire some digital signals along
with analog input you can build a simple D/A converter.
Using a resistor ladder creates a simple D/A converter. It

allows you to convert up to 8 digital input lines into
analog signal for reliable detection using a 12-bit
PowerDAQ board.
