DIGIplate Help Revision 1.0

Definitions:
    addr: Address - the DIGIplate has a set of jumpers on the board that allow
          its address to be set to a value between 0 and 7.
    bit: Each DIGIplate has eight individually addressable input channels
         referred to as bits. They are numbered 1 through 8.

Input Functions
    getDINbit(addr,bit) - returns the value of the digital input on the 
                          specified bit input. The returned value is 1 for
                          a high input and 0 for a low input.
                          
    getDINall(addr) - returns all of the digital inputs as an 8-bit number. Bit
                      1 is the least significant bit (LSB) and bit 8 is the most
                      significant bit:

Event Functions
    eventEnable(addr) - DIGIplate will pull down on INT pin (GPIO22) if an enabled
                      event occurs
    
    eventDisable(addr) - DIGIplate will not assert interrupts on GPIO22
    
    enableDINevent(addr, bit, edge) - enable interrupt for specified bit. The
                        "edge" field requires a single character argument:
                        'F' for falling edge
                        'R' for rising edge 
                        'B' for both rising and falling edges
                        Note that lower case characters are also allowed.
                        
    disableDINevent(addr, bit) - disable interrupts on the specified bit              
    
    getEVENT(addr) - returns the 16 bit EVENT flag register in DIGIplate. If 
                     enabled, the upper 8 bits indicate that a falling edge
                     has been detected on a specific bit while the lower 8
                     bits will indicate that a rising edge has occurred.

                        Executing this function causes the DIGIplate to deassert
                        the interrupt line (if enabled) and to clear the 16-bit
                        INT flag register.
    check4EVENTS(addr) - reads the status of the event pin and returns True if
                         an event has occurred or a False if there is
                         no change.
LED Control Functions
    setLED(addr) - turn on the LED
    clrLED(addr) - turn off the LED
    toggleLED(addr) - if LED is on, turn off. If LED is off, turn on.

System Level Functions:
    getID(addr) - return Pi-Plate descriptor string
    getFWrev(addr) - return FW revision in byte format
    getHWrev(addr) - return HW revision in byte format
    getVersion() - returns revision of python module
    getADDR(addr) - return address of pi-plate. Used for polling available
                    boards at power up.
    RESET(addr) - set DIGIplate to power on state.
