The JTHW multiplexer port provides eight inputs and eight outputs at TTL levels. While these I/O can be used in 
un-multiplexed form for 16 discrete I/O points, most users will utilize PMAC software and accessories to use this 
port in multiplexed form to greatly multiply the number of I/O that can be accessed on this port. In multiplexed 
form, some of the SELn outputs are used to select which of the multiplexed I/O are to be accessed.
