Each optically isolated PNP output is designed to source current from the USR V+ supply as
shown in Figure 28. The maximum saturated voltage across any of the outputs when active is
1.0VDC, so they can be used as TTL compatible outputs. If the outputs are used to directly
drive a relay, a suitably rated flyback diode must be fitted across the relay coil, observing the
correct polarity. This is to protect the output from the back-EMF generated by the relay coil
when it is de-energized. The outputs can be written to directly using the Mint keyword OUTX
(for example OUTX.2=1). The sense of the outputs can be configured in WorkBench v5, and
their states are displayed in the Spy window.
