- +This guide has been replaced by [[learn/instrumentation/tutorials/waveforms-static-io/start]], and is slated to be removed from the Digilent Wiki. Please update all bookmarks and saved links to the new location.
-===== Introduction ===== +
-This guide explains the use of the //Static I/O// instrument in WaveForms. This instrument is used to interact with a Test & Measurement Device's digital input/output channels through simulated buttons, LEDs, displays, and sliders. +
----- +
-===== Prerequisites ===== +
-  * A Digilent Test & Measurement Device with Digital Input/Output Channels +
-  * A Computer with WaveForms Software Installed +
- +
----- +
-===== Guide ===== +
-==== 1. Opening the Static I/O ==== +

-=== 1.1 === +
-Plug in the Test & Measurement Device, then start WaveForms and make sure the device is connected. +
- +
-If no device is connected to the host computer when WaveForms launches, the **Device Manager** will be launched. Make sure that the device is plugged in and turned on, at which point it will appear in the Device Manager's device list (1). Click on the device in the list to select it, then click the Select button (2) to close the Device Manager. +
- +
-**Note:** //"Demo" devices are also listed, which allow the user to use WaveForms and create projects without a physical device.// +
- +
-**Note:** //The Device Manager can be opened by clicking on the "Connected Device" button in the bottom right corner of the screen (3), or by selecting "Device Manager" from the "Settings" menu at the top of the screen.//+

-//This section walks through the various configuration options for the //Static I/O// instrument. These configurations can be used to interact with and display digital signals and circuits either with the previously explored tools in Waveforms or with external digital circuits. However, the scope of this section will be limited to only configuration with brief application discussions.//

-=== 3.1 Group Bus Assignments === 
-By default, the Static I/O tool opens with all the available DIO lines from your Test and Measurement Device in groups of 8, descending from left to right and top to bottom all configured as LED state indicators for each line. To change a particular group, click on the group configuration drop down menu located on the left of the group row. This menu includes: 
-  * Bit IO: (Input/Output) Last IO, LED, Button, Switch (Discussed further in Section 3.2) 
-  * Slider (Output)  
-  * Progress Bar (Input)  
-  * 7 Segment Display (Input)

-==3.1.1 Slider== 
-Selecting "Slider" from the group assignments drop down menu groups those eight DIO lines into an 8-bit binary value output that can be changed by either moving the slider left to right or by entering a value between 0 and 255 in the value text field located to the right of the slider bar. The highest digital line is the most significant bit (MSB) and each digital line will get the corresponding bit value related to the bus value.

-==3.1.2 Progress Bar== 
-Selecting "Progress Bar" from the group assignments drop down menu groups those eight DIO lines into an 8-bit bus input that displays the binary value of the 8-bit bus as a progress bar (increasing from left to right) and displaying the exact value (from 0 to 255) in the text field to the right of the progress bar. The highest digital line is the most significant bit (MSB) and each digital line will get the corresponding bit value related to the bus value.

-==3.1.3 Seven Segment Display== 
-Selecting "7 Segment" from the group assignments drop down menu groups those eight DIO lines into a 7 segment display input. Each of the eight digital lines correspond to one of the segments or the decimal point as seen in the picture to the right. A logic high level illuminates the segment associated with that DIO line.

-=== 3.2 Individual DIO Assignments === 
-To change the assignment for an individual DIO rather than an entire group, click on the DIO drop down menu located in the upper left corner of the individual DIO window. This menu includes: 
-  * LED (input) 
-  * Button (input and output) 
-  * Switch (input and output)

-==3.2.1 LED== 
-The LED input display is the default setting for all DIO lines. This displays the current state of the DIO line: red if logic high, grey if logic low.

-<WRAP column half> 
-==3.2.2 Button== 
-Selecting "Button" from the DIO assignment drop down menu provides six options for how the button performs when pressed or released. Button is both an input and output device with two states (pressed and released) with an LED as a state indicator. 0 corresponds to logic low, 1 corresponds to logic high (LED illuminates), and Z corresponds to high impedance state which will not trigger the LED indicator and will also not drive the DIO line to a logic low or high level which can be useful if multiple devices are connected to the same line. Image A shows the options for the button behavior and image B shows two examples of buttons in the release state and their corresponding LED indication.

-<WRAP column half> 
-==3.2.3 Switch== 
-Selecting "Switch" from the DIO assignment drop down menu provides four options for how the switch performs. Switch is an input and output device with the output dependent on the switch state selection. Like the Button device, 0 corresponds to logic low, 1 corresponds to logic high (LED illuminates), and Z corresponds to high impedance state which will not trigger the LED indicator and will also not drive the DIO line to a logic low or high level which can be useful if multiple devices are connected to the same line. Image A shows the four options for the switch's behavior and Image B shows three examples of switches in 0,1,and Z states with their corresponding LED indication.
