Edit - Click to assign / reassign an available output as Alternator Control Output.

Clear - Click to reset Output assignment.

Active State - The logic level of the output when the it is On. Low is driven to 0v; High is pulled to the pull up voltage set through a 4K7 Ohm resistor.

Pull Up Voltage - The voltage used as pull up for the output selected.
