Configuring Inputs

An input brings a value into the controller — from a physical pin, the CAN bus, or computed from other inputs. Every input shares the Common IO Settings; each type adds its own options. Inputs fall into three groups.

Physical (hardware-pin) inputs

Input	Reads	Page
Analog Input	Analog voltage on a pin	Analog Input
Digital Input	On/off (shorted to sGND) with debounce/invert	Digital Input
Frequency Input	Frequency, speed, duty or pulse time from a pin	Frequency Input
Analog Switch Input	Resistor-ladder / voltage switch	Analog Switch Input

Communication inputs

Input	Reads	Page
CAN Bus Input	A signal from a raw CAN frame	CAN-Bus Input
CAN Object Input	A named object provided by a CAN Preset	CAN-Object Input

See Working with the CAN Bus.

Computed / logical / virtual inputs

Input	Produces	Page
Constant Value Input	A fixed value	Constant Value Input
Compare Input	A boolean (1024 / 0) from a comparison	Compare Input
Math / Divide Input	Maths between two inputs	Math Input
Map Input	1D lookup on another input	Map Input
Mux Input	Selects 1 of 8 inputs	Mux Input
Counter Input	Up/down/reset counter	Counter Input
Waveform Input	Time-based generated signal	Waveform Input
RBC Input	Decodes Gray code from a set of bit inputs	RBC Input
Virtual Input	Value set from the datalogger (USB sliders)	Virtual Input
System Input	A system value, selected by pin	System Input
