3.2.8 Setting the Time to Reset Digital Outputs
Some users will want the capability of clearing each digital output when 
the system (or PC) issues a reset signal on the PCI bus. Other users will 
want to clear their signal outputs only as part of system power-on.
PCI-1718 cards satisfy both these needs with jumper JP21. Depending on 
the application, this capability may allow digital outputs to be “OFF” 
without requiring a complete shutdown of processes controlled by the 
card.
Complete loss of power to the chip clears the chip memory. Thus, no mat-
ter how JP21 is set, if the power to the PCI-1718 card is disconnected, the 
digital output channel’s initial power-on state will be “OFF”.
