<p>An LED control is the typical object that is assigned
to a logic output.</p>
<p>The logic outputs can be used to drive indicators or
third party devices. For example Logic Outputs can trigger
infra-red commands (to control DVD players etc) or power
relays to turn other equipment on or off. The logic output
can source 10mA, and sink 60mA.</p>

<ul>
<li class="p"><p>Current source:</p></li>
</ul>
<p>This is intended for LEDs. The unit can supply up to
10.5mA at around 5V. An LED can be connected directly
without the need for a current limit resistor. When assigning
the Control or LED to the port in London Architect, set
the control port for normal mode.</p>

<ul>
<li class="p"><p>Current sink:</p></li>
</ul>
<p>This is intended for relays and higher power devices.
The unit can sink up to 60mA from an external supply.
If more current is driven into the port, the control port
automatically decreases its ability to sink current, protecting
the circuitry. As there is hysteresis within this circuit,
the full sink capability will not return until current
is decreased to below 60mA. When assigning the Control
or LED to the port in London Architect, set the control
port for inverted mode.</p>

<p>Assignment of Logic Outputs is similar to assigning
control inputs.</p>
<p>When assigning this object to the control port, a dialog
will ask if you want the action to be:</p>
<ul>
<li class="p"><p><span class="hcp2">Normal</span>
(Control or LED in the ON state, causing the logic
port to go High, +5v)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>or</p>
<ul>
<li class="p"><p><span class="hcp2">Inverted</span>
(Control or LED in the ON state, causing the logic
port to go Low, 0v).</p></li>
</ul>
