8.53. LOA -- Define Behavior for Logic Output Activated 
State
This command is used to define the conditions under which a given logic output pin goes into the active 
state. By default the logic output pins are active high. Active high is the default because it would light 
an LED connected to the output when the output was in the active state. The polarity of the logic 
output pins can be changed with the 
LOP command. 
The syntax of this command allows one to use one of the boolean channel commands to determine the 
state of the logic output pin. The commands that are valid for use with LOA are 
AGC, MUTEO, MUTEI, 
and 
NC. Each command must be specified using the wildcard character, *, for the channel number. 
Each character in the array string is compared to the status of the channels in the Vortex. A 1 or a 0 in 
the string means that the status for the corresponding channel must match that character for the 
condition to be true. A period character, ., in the string is a don't care, meaning that the condition will 
be true no matter what the status for that channel is. A + or - character works as an OR function, with 
+ corresponding to a 1 in the channel status and - corresponding to a 0. If any + or - characters are in 
the string, at least one channel's status must match for the condition to be true. 
The special characters ., +, and - are not particularly useful on the EF2201, since there is only one 
input channel and one output channel. The special characters are more useful on the other EF22xx 
devices that have more inputs and outputs. Typically, only the 0 and 1 characters are used with this 
command on the EF2201. 
Consider the following example. In this example, we also use the 
LOD command, which is just like the 
LOA command except that it sets the condition for the logic output to be in the deactivated state. 
Normally, you must set both the LOA and 
LOD commands in order to make use of a logic output pin. In 
our example, we issue the following commands: 
T01LOA10,MUTEI*1
T01LOD10,MUTEI*0
