After you have configured pin 3 as the remote inhibit input, you must
also configure the operating mode of the Inhibit signal. The inhibit
signal can be latched or live. When latched, the outputs will remain
disabled after an inhibit signal is received. When live, the outputs will
follow the state of the Inhibit input. The Inhibit operating mode is
stored in non-volatile memory.
