Logic Assignments
The logic processor assigns the combination of external inputs (in1–in8) and channel outputs
(outA–outG) that will trigger each channel. Logic assignments always appear in the following
format:
[the channel to be triggered] = [the conditions that will trigger it];
External inputs and channel outputs feed into the logic processors; therefore, they appear only on
the right side of assignments. Logic processor outputs feed the timing channel inputs inA–inH;
these terms appear only on the left side of assignments.
Here is an example:
inB = in2;
This assignment means, “Channel B will be TRUE when Input 2 goes TRUE (reaches ~ 5 V).”
The assignment:
inB = not in2;
means “Channel B will trigger when Input 2 goes FALSE (drops below 0.2 V).”
You can employ compound arguments in logical assignments, such as:
inB = not outC and in2;
This means, “Channel B will trigger when the output of Channel C is FALSE and Input 2 is
TRUE.”
This example is more complex still:
inB = (in1 or in2) and (outC or outD);
Here, Channel B requires a TRUE signal from Inputs 1 or 2, combined with a TRUE signal from
Channels C or D, in order to trigger.
NOTE: Model 725 inputs are TRUE by default if nothing is connected (i.e., the input is
normally weakly pulled high). Grounding an input switches its state to a logical FALSE.
