How do I perform a digital output with my DT9802 in DT Measure Foundry 4.0.7?

To test your digital output capabilities with Measure Foundry and your DT9800 Series module, create the following example:

1. start w/ a blank worksheet.
2. add a Digital Output panel to the worksheet.
3. configure the Digital Output panel to use your DT9800 device and select the option to "output every digital line immediately".
4. add a Control Button panel to the worksheet.
5. configure the Control Button panel as a switch button.
6. configure the properties of this Control Button to control the Digital Output's Actions (Active value = Start, Passive value = Stop).
7. add a Control Edit Field panel to the worksheet.
8. configure the Control Edit Field panel to "always display text in a single line".
9. configure the properties of this Control Edit Field to control the Digital Output's Output Value.
10. save project
11. run project
12. click on the Control Button to "START" the Digital Output subsystem.
13. enter a value (1) into the Control Edit Field and press "Set".
-Digital Output 0 should go 'HI'.
-> 14. enter a value (5) into the Control Edit Field and press "Set".
