7i84 inverting output Pins

Hello,

is it normal that "watch" in halshow doesnt show you an inverted pin? (normally low but inverted so it should be high, but it shows the pin as low).

i have Linuxcnc 2.7.14

thanks

The 7I84 (and all sserial devices) have inverted input pins available
but no inverted output pins. Output pins are usually active high ( high=1=true=ON )

im sorry, i ment when you set the invert-parameter for an output pin to "true" then the output will be inverted (i measured it with a multimeter) but Halshow will still show the output pin as "low".

There is always the invert component which will do what you want.

That's correct, invert_output=true means:

hardware_output_pin <= not (hal_pin)

The hal_pin is not changed
