Data to Output Select an ITEM from the current TASK that has the data you wish to output.

Flags Last In Stack - This is recommended and places the request to output the data at the end of the MicroScan Interface stack.

First In Stack - This option means that the request to output will go to the beginning of the MicroScan Interface stack and will be executed first. This option has the danger of slowing down communications for other programs using the MicroScan interface.

Remote Enable Works in conjunction with the above master Enable. The Remote Enable can be used to temporarily disable this ITEM. First set this property to get the value of another ITEM. If the value of the ITEM is greater than zero then the output will not be disabled, if the value is equal to or smaller than zero then the output will be disabled. If nothing is selected then this property is ignored.
