Purpose
Turns on the Discrete I/O (DIO) control interface of the robot.

Description
The MagnaTran 7 robot may be controlled and monitored using discrete I/O lines
instead of using the serial communications link. This command disables all serial
control functions and enables Discrete I/O control.
A programmed 4 second delay follows the DIO START command while internal func-
tions ensure proper power-up. Outputs are driven low for this period.
