Function
This section describes the features of the board.
Each function described here can be easily set and executed by using the bundled API driver library. For
details, refer to API-DIO HELP available after installation.
Data I/O Function
This board supports the equivalence to mode 0 of four i8255 chips, capable of input/output of up to 96
TTL-level active high signals.
I/O setup of the port
The I/O function of the port must be set properly before the board can input/output data correctly.
Writing a control word sets each port for either input or output.
The input/output setting can be achieved in eight signals unit for ports A and B and in four signals unit
(upper 4 bits and lower 4 bits) for port C.
CAUTION
Each port is assigned as an input port when the power is turned on.
