General-Purpose Output Circuit
Selecting Sinking or Sourcing General-Purpose
Outputs
Use the jumpers on the PCI-7390 to select between sinking and sourcing
general-purpose outputs. You can configure each output bit individually.
To set the general-purpose output bit as a sourcing output bit, place the
jumper across SRC and OUT. To set the output bit as a sinking output bit,
place the jumper across OUT and SNK. Refer to Figure 4-12 for the jumper
placement. Table 4-3 shows the relationship between the jumper name on
the PCI-7390 and the specific output bit you want to configure.
