1.2.2 Unit To Printer The CU provides means to enter and view variable data, view
current status, and view the event report.
The CU timing and operational data, preemption data,
coordination program data, time base data, system data, and
reports are individually transmitted to the printer. The
1.3.1 Entry
The method of entering CU variables is by:
1. An integral keypad on the face of the unit, and/or
2. Via a RS-232 Interface and a Personal Computer
1.3.2 Display
The method provided to view CU variables, current status,
and the event report shall be by:
1. Integral Indication on the face of the unit, and/or
2. Via a RS-232 Interface and a Personal Computer
The method provided includes a simultaneous display of up
to eight lines, 40 characters per line of ASCII text (HEX 20
through HEX 7A).
1.3.3 Security
The CU maintains user programmable variables in non-
volatile memory to assure continued proper CU operation
with return of power after power loss.
The CU continuously monitors memory contents for errors. If
an error is found, the CU immediately ceases outputting
signals to the processor monitor and thereby reverts to
flashing operation.
1.3.4 Backup
The CU contains a reserve data base of all CU keypad set
variables stored in Read Only Memory. It is possible for an
operator to activate the reserve data base by loading it into
memory through a simple procedure involving front panel
controls.
2 FRONT PANEL
A Control Unit with Eagle EPAC300 Firmware/Software (CU) may utilize an alpha-numeric Display and multi-position Keypad to
provide an interface between the user and the CU.
The CU Display becomes active on power-up and remains active as long as power is applied to the unit.

Red

Green
The NCHRP 3-54 Protected / Permissive operation uses signal four lenses:
RED Steady Arrow: Associated Overlap Red provides RED for NCHRP operation.
YELLOW Steady Arrow: Associated Overlap Yellow provides Yellow Clearance prior to Red for NCHRP operation.
YELLOW Flashing Arrow: Associated Overlap Green which is flashing provides Permissive Right of Way indication for NCHRP operation. Internal logic
in the traffic software suppresses the Associated Overlap flashing Green output when the NCHRP sequence services the protected portion (Green
Arrow) of the display sequence.
GREEN Steady Arrow: Protected Phase Green provides Protected Right of Way indication for NCHRP operation.
A consistent set of Preempt programming entries must be provided for the Protected Phase and Permissive Phase and the
Associated Overlap. The Overlap Yellow and Red are an integral part of the NCHRP Protected and Permissive display and its
transitions.
In Eagle EPAC300 Actuated Signal Control Firmware/Software, the Overlap operation provides the in-cycle Flashing Green
output (to drive the FYA section) for the NCHRP 3-54 Protected/Permissive Signals.
The following represents the sequence when Phase 1 is the ‘Protected’ Phase and Phase 2 is the ‘Permissive’ Phase:
OLA Red - - R - R - - R - -
OLA Yel - Y - Y - - Y - - -
OLA Grn - - - - - FG - - FG FG
Phs 1 Grn G - - - - - - - - -
The phase numbers in the above are for example only. The Protected and Permissive phases for each overlap are user
programmable.
Note: Phase 1 Yellow and Phase 1 Red signal driver outputs are available but NOT used for this sequence.
Note: To provide the PPLT operation on an overlap DO NOT enter any OVL PHASES!
In this example, Overlap A is utilized to generate the Protected / Permissive sequence. All overlaps have this
capability.
For PPLT operation, ‘+GRN’ entry defines the Permissive Phase (in this example it is phase 2).
When more than one Permissive Phases is programmed, the permissive interval (defined in the above sequence chart as Phs 2
R/W) ) shall NOT begin until ALL permissive phases are green. A likely alternate for the above example would be to program
both phase 2 and phase 6 as the permissive phases. Permissive Phases should be enabled to operate concurrently.

For PPLT operation, ‘-G/Y’ entry defines the Protected Phase (in this example it is phase 1).
When only one Permissive Phase is programmed, the Protected and Permissive Phases MUST be in the same Ring to be
considered valid.
5.5 Preemption
Since the NCHRP 3-54 Protected/Permissive sequence has defined a new ‘Green’ state for signal drivers (Permissive = Flashing
Green output to drive the FYA), preempt dwell intervals require the ability to utilize this state. The following denote the Eagle
EPAC300 Actuated Signal Control Firmware/Software screens for this capability:
PRESS "3" FROM PREEMPT 1 MENU
The default flashing rate is 60 flashes / minute (1 pulse per second repetition rate with a 50 percent duty).
The preempt transitions for the Permissive Green state are the same as the normal Green state.
Flashing Green in Preempt has no direct connection with the NCHRP 3-54 Protected/Permissive operation, i.e., they are
independently implemented but, for those that require the Protected / Permissive operation, mutually supportive.
Note: An alternate flash rate (150 fpm) for the Flashing Green is controlled by the data entry under the Special Function
Mapping controls titled “AS8-15=OLI-P FL G PHS”. If no data entry is made on that line, the default flash rate is provided (60
fpm). If data is entered on that line, the alternate flash rate is provided (150 fpm). This flashing green rate is universally
applied to all flashing greens in the controller, both for phases and for overlaps.
TRACK INTERVALS:
If the Protected Phase Green is provided, the Associated Overlap must be set to FLASHING GREEN (5) in order to have proper
clearances.
If the Permissive Phase is provided and the Associated Overlap is to display the Flashing Yellow Arrow at that time, set the
Associated Overlap to FLASHING GREEN (5). If the Associated Overlap is to display RED Arrow at that time, set the Associated
Overlap to RED (0).
HOLD INTERVALS WITHOUT CYCLING OPERATION:
Use the same rules as provided for TRACK INTERVALS.
HOLD INTERVALS WITH CYCLING OPERATION:
Set the Associated Overlap to RED (0).
If the Protected Green Phase is available during Cycling, the Associated Overlap must be set to 1-ACT in order to have proper
clearances. If the Permissive Phase is also available during Cycling, the Flashing Yellow Arrow display will appear and cannot be
blocked out.
If the Permissive Phase is available during Cycling and the Protected Phase is not available during Cycling, to provide the
NCHRP Flashing Yellow Arrow display at that time, set the Associated Overlap to 1-ACT. If the NCHRP signal is to display RED
Arrow at that time, set the Associated Overlap to 0-NO.

7.1 OPERATION
The first step to implementing alternate Passage & Maximum
timings is to establish mapping of timing values from
detector functions to these functions.
The CU provides an optional feature which provides three Detector To Phase Association
Alternate Passage & Maximum times.
Vehicle Detector # 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
The CU provides a user entry for three alternate passage
values (0-99.9 Seconds) and three alternate maximum values Vehicle Detector # 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56
(0-999 Seconds).

This mapping will transfer all phase's Passage and Maximum
to those entered into the respective Extend & Delay parameter Detector To Phase Association
fields simultaneously, so use caution in this process.
Vehicle Detector # 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48
When the detector timings have been mapped as alternate

When ALT SEQUENCE 16 is programmed (Unit Data, Startup & Misc), the CU operate in 4 Phase Diamond Mode.
When operating in 4 Phase Diamond Mode, the CU shall perform the following sequence:
Extend Phase 8 when Phase 8 is green until a Phase 2 call exists and a user set gap (0-9.9 seconds) in Detector 16
activity occurs at which time Detector 16 shall become inactive. This state (Detector 16 inactive) shall be maintained
until Phase 8 yellow or the Phase 2 call disappears prior to Phase 8 yellow.
Extend Phase 16 when Phase 16 is green.

The Free (No Coordination) input, when active, shall disable the Coordination timing control of the CU.
The TBC On Line input, when active, shall disable the Time Base pattern outputs to the internal coordination program.

When Internal Coordination is in control, the mode (Separate Intersections, 4 Phase Diamond, 3 Phase Diamond, & NEMA) shall
be controlled by same. Each coordination pattern (Dial/Split, Offset shall provide an entry to automatically select the desired
mode. During these periods when Internal Coordination is in control, the mode inputs below will have no effect.
When Internal Coordination is in control and a change in mode (Separate Intersections, 4 Phase Diamond, 3 Phase Diamond, &
NEMA) is requested, the CU shall momentarily drop free in order to transition to the new mode.
When the Diamond Mode is True and the Separate Intersections input is active, the CU shall operate in the Separate

the order (highest to lowest) Internal Coordination, Inputs, Time Base, and Keypad.
11.7 PROGRAMMING
11.7.1.2 Coordination
Diamond Mode is compatible with Coordination Modes Permissive and Yield. All other Coordination Modes will cause a ‘Bad
Plan Free’.
It is assumed that each Coordination Timing Plan is tailored for a particular Diamond Mode Sequence (Separate Intersections
Mode, 4 Phase Diamond Mode, 3 Phase Diamond Mode, or NEMA Mode ). The Diamond Mode Sequence is either that entered in
the Offset Alternate Sequence or the Default Alternate Sequence when the Offset Alternate Sequence is less than ‘16’. This
means that the order in which front panel entries are made is significant as the Offset Alternate Sequence must be entered first
if the plan is expected to run on other then the Default Alternate Sequence.
Under coordination, only Primary phases are controlled. Primary phases are those needing timing control by coordination.
DARK phases and unused phases in a particular Diamond Mode Sequence are never primary. The primary phases for each
Diamond Mode Sequence are as follows:
4 Phase Diamond Mode: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, and 16.
3 Phase Diamond Mode: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 13.
If either 4 or 3 is DARK, 13 is not primary. Likewise, if either 8 or 7 is DARK, 9 is not primary.
Separate Intersections Mode & NEMA Mode: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Front panel entry of Diamond Mode Sequence Coordination Phase Times is designed to verify the entered time against the
sequence selected for that Timing Plan (see paragraph above).
Coordination Phase times for non Primary phases will serve as the Maximum time for that phase when that Timing Plan is
active.
Coordination Phase times for DARK phases can be any value (but these times will have no effect on the cycle.)
In 3 Phase Diamond Mode, Coordination permissive operation might preclude service of 1 and 5 when transitioning from 2+6 to
4 or 8 if the calls arrive after the vehicle permissive has closed on 1 and 5.
The CU does not calculate the Cycle Length for any Diamond Mode Sequences. The user must enter the proper cycle length to
run for each Diamond Mode Sequence under coordination. The CU will verify the Cycle against the calculated "bad plan cycle"
(phase times for ring 1 phases less than 9 e.g. phases 1, 2, 3 and 4). Care must be taken that a cycle length is entered or a "bad
plan" is noted.
The coordination primary phases (Split times MUST be entered for these phases, if active) and timing association for the four
phase diamond mode are as follows:
Texas Std ID 1825 25 35 45 4516 16 17 18
Ring 1 2 3 4 12 1
Coord Std ID 2+16 2+5 3+5 4+5 6+12 1+6 1+7 1+8
Ring 2 16 5 6 7 8
The Cycle Length should equal the sum of the pattern times for Phases 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, & 8.
PRIMARY PHASES:
The pattern time for Phase 1 should be based on whether it is one of the pattern Coordinated Phase(s).
Coordinated Phases = 1 & 7: Phase 1 time = Phase 6 + 7 time - Phase 12 time + Phase 8 Min Green
Coordinated Phases = 1 & 8: Phase 6 + 7 + 8 time - Phase 12 time
All Others: Phase 1 time = Phase 6 time - Phase 12 time + Phase 8 Min Green
The pattern time for Phase 5 should be based on whether it is one of the pattern Coordinated Phase(s).
Coordinated Phases = 3 & 5: Phase 5 time = Phase 2 + 3 time - Phase 16 time + Phase 4 Min Green
Coordinated Phases = 4 & 5: Phase 2 + 3 + 4 time - Phase 16 time
All Others: Phase 5 time = Phase 2 time - Phase 16 time + Phase 4 Min Green
The pattern time for Phase 12 is assumed to be less than the pattern time for Phase 6.
The pattern time for Phase 16 is assumed to be less than the pattern time for Phase 2.
NON-PRIMARY PHASES:
The pattern time for Phase 9 (Left to Right clearances) is assumed to be less than the pattern time for Phase 3, 4, or 12.
The pattern time for Phase 11 (3+5 to 1+6 clearance) is assumed to be less than the pattern time for Phase 6.
The pattern time for Phase 13 (Right to Left clearances) is assumed to be less than the pattern time for 7, 8, or 16.
The pattern time for Phase 15 (1+7 to 2+5 clearance) is assumed to be less than the pattern time for Phase 2.
The coordination primary phases (Split times MUST be entered for these phases, if active) and timing association for the three
phase diamond mode are as follows:
Texas Std ID 48 15 37 26 15
Ring 1 4 9 3 2 1
Coord Std ID 4+8 9+13 3+7 2+6 1+5
Ring 2 8 13 7 6 5
The Cycle Length should equal the sum of the pattern times for Phases 4,9,3,2,& 1 or 8,13,7,6, & 5.
PRIMARY PHASES:
The pattern time for Phase 9 & 13 should be set to limit the Phase 4 + 8 to Phase 3+7 clearance.
NON-PRIMARY PHASES:
The pattern time for Phase10 is assumed to be less than or equal to the pattern time for Phase 1.
The pattern time for Phase14 is assumed to be less than or equal to the pattern time for Phase 5.
The first step to implementing Time Base or System control of Diamond Mode Sequences is to map Special Function Control to
the Diamond Mode Sequences. (From the Main menu: 6-Time Base Data & 0-Spc Func Mapping)
When TX Diamond Load Default is requested (Utilities, Load Default, TX Diamond), the following configuration data compatible
with the Diamond Modes above will be loaded into EEPROM and Diamond Mode shall be active. This is the FIRST thing that
should be done when it is desired to operate in Diamond Mode.
When Diamond Mode is active, all phases are active and INITIAL Code ‘0’ NONE has no effect. Set the phase to ‘5’ DARK when it is
desired to be NOT present.
When Diamond Mode is active, Ring Structure data for RING, NEXT, and CONCUR have no impact on CU operation.

The Reporting Configuration dialog (Camera Options => Reporting Configuration) has several items that are important for
proper camera setup. These items are detailed below, with reference to how they interact with SEPAC. The settings are divided
between global and per-destination. Global settings are in effect for all reporting destinations. Note that versions of camera
firmware older than 1.0.4.7 only support a single reporting destination.
camera. In Packet mode, the Reporting Interval determines how often packets are sent. Reporting Interval is a global setting
that applies to all destinations
Recommended Practice: this value should be set to 100 or left at 0 or, both of which cause reports to be sent at least
once per second.
13.1.5 IP Address
The IP Address is that of the SEPAC controller which needs the detection information. Only numeric IP addresses are accepted.
Up to three different destination addresses are supported.
13.1.6 Camera ID
Each camera must have a unique ID number in addition to its own IP address. In SEPAC, the camera ID is only used to select
which detector group the camera will work with. Cameras 1-8 work only with detectors 1-32, and cameras 9-16 work only with
detectors 33-64. All other camera IDs are ignored.
Recommended Practice: for cameras working detectors 1-32, set the camera ID to the number of the main phase that
it will be controlling, normally 2, 4, 6, or 8. If the approach is so wide that two cameras are required, use the phase
number of the turn lane for the camera which covers it, i.e. 2&5, 4&7, 6&1, or 8&3. For advance approach cameras,
use the main phase number minus one. For cameras working detectors 33-64, add 8 to the ID it would otherwise
have.
Within a detector group (1-32 or 33-64), each camera may control a section of up to eight consecutive detectors. Cameras must
be configured so that the sections to not overlap. The sections controlled by the cameras need not be adjacent. Also, within a
camera's section, it is ok, though not recommended, to have "holes" where a camera output is skipped¹. Because all of a cameras
outputs are in a single section, default detector-to-phase mappings are normally not useful².
Figure 1.
In the Figure 1 example, camera six will not show any detection on output 3, which maps to Detector 27. Also note that Detector
24 is not controlled by any camera, but that camera 4 could be expanded to include that detector in the future.
Recommended practice: allocate four detectors for each camera when no camera needs more than four outputs (smaller
intersections), even if not all detectors are used. Allocate eight detectors per camera if any camera needs five or more outputs
(larger intersections). For convenience, make Output Channel Offset an even multiple of 4 or 8. This keeps all the detectors
from the same camera on the same 3.8.x screen.
Note:
¹Skipped outputs can never ordinarily show detection, since there is no zone or
logic driving them. However they will turn on if the camera fails. This is not the
preferred method for reserving outputs for future use. It is generally less confusing
to leave a gap at the end.
²For example, detections for phases 2 and 5 would normally come from the same
camera.
There is not a single way to set up cameras that works in all cabinets and situations. The following are general
recommendations designed to keep the camera detectors outside the normal detector hardware range for each cabinet type.
This is to prevent a situation where a camera detector and a loop detector are attempting to manage the same detector input.
Individual traffic agencies may choose to establish more specific recommendations or standards.
Recommended practice: set camera output to a range that is not accessible to an installed detector BIU. Remember to
add 8 to the normal camera ID to use detectors 33-64. Examples: if a detector rack is not installed, start camera
outputs with detector 1, using 1-16 for smaller intersections, or 1-32 for larger ones. If the first detector rack is
installed (BIU address 8), use 17-32 for smaller intersections, or 33-64 for larger ones. Or the cameras could use 1-
16, and the BIU 17-32.
Alternate practice: Always set camera outputs to start at detector 33, provided that no more that 2 detector BIUs are
in use. Use 33-48 for smaller intersections and 33-64 for larger.
13.3.5 ITS
The number of the detector inputs available for cameras depends on the number of active input files. Mapping cameras into the
range of an active input file may result in the Detector Fault Report not correctly showing On Line, Fail Det Wdog, and Fail
Support messages for the cameras. With only input file 1 active, cameras may be mapped beginning with detector 23. With
input files 1 & 2 active, cameras may begin with detector 43. Cameras should not be used if more than two input files are active.
Recommended practice, input file 1 alone: set camera outputs beginning with detector 25, using 25 - 40 for smaller
intersections, 25-56 for larger.
Recommended practice, input files 1 & 2: set camera outputs beginning with detector 45, using 45-60 for smaller
intersections. Larger intersections may use 43-64 with irregular mapping. Only the largest should encroach on
detectors available to an input file. Place labeled block outs on the vulnerable slots to prevent the insertion of a
detector card, or deactivate an input file if possible.
13.3.7 ITS/CBD v2
The CBD v2 variant reads only detectors 1-24 from the input file. Thus the camera mapping could start as early as detector 25.
Recommended practice: set camera outputs to use detectors 33-48 for smaller intersections and 33-64 for larger.
The cameras utility is available to help the user see how cameras are configured and how they are interacting with the
controller. This utility may only be run from a terminal connected to the controller's console port or from a telnet session to the
controller. The utility shows six main things:

All logic signals (except as explicitly defined elsewhere) is low state (nominal 0 volts) for the True (operate) state of all input and
output terminations. Input / Output terminations, when not activated, are internally biased to the False (high) non-operate state
(+24 volts DC).
The operation of the CU is not be affected during operation by the application to any input or output terminal of pulses of 10
microseconds duration, 300-volt positive or negative amplitude, and with a maximum repetition rate of 1 pulse per second. For
the purposes of this requirement, a pulse source having an output impedance of not less than 1K ohms, nor greater than 10K
ohms should be used.

2. Type: <Enter>
the CU should respond with a '$' prompt
1. This step is slightly different based on the CU.
CU = Eagle 2070 ATC or Eagle M50: If there is an opexec (User) program running, or if not sure, Use the Backspace Key to bypass
starting an opexec:
Power OFF the CU. (This must be for at least 2 seconds to guarantee a complete restart.)
Press and Hold: <Backspace> on your TERMINAL keyboard.
Power ON the CU (while holding the Backspace Key)
If you are successful, a message like the following should appear within HyperTerminal:
CU = Naztec 2070 ATC: If there is an opexec (User) program running, or if not sure, Use the Backspace Key to bypass starting an
opexec:
Power OFF the CU. (This must be for at least 2 seconds to guarantee a complete restart.)
Press and Hold: <Backspace> on your TERMINAL keyboard.
Power ON the CU (while holding the Backspace Key)
If you are successful, a message like the following should appear within HyperTerminal:
CU = Safetran 2070 ATC: If a shell $ prompt is available, perform a procs to see if there is an opexec (User) program
running. If so:
Use the CTRL and E Keys simultaneously to bypass starting an opexec:
Power OFF the CU. (This must be for at least 2 seconds to guarantee a complete restart.)
Press and Hold: Ctrl and E keys on your TERMINAL keyboard.
Power ON the CU (while holding the Ctrl and E Keys)
If opexec was an Eagle EPAC300 MVP type, and you are successful, a message like the following should appear within

*** Steps 7 thru 11 and 17 thru 21 below will speed up the process but are not mandatory for this effort. ***
1. Type: tmode baud=38400<Enter>
2. 'Disconnect' the HyperTerminal connection
This will close the terminal connection
1. Change HyperTerminal 'Connect To' properties for 38400 bps
2. 'Connect' the HyperTerminal connection
This will reopen the terminal connection with the new parameters.
1. Type: <Enter>
The CU should respond with a '$' prompt; this will verify baud rate changes
1. Type: chd /r0<Enter>
The CU should respond with a '$' prompt
1. Type: kermit r<Enter>
2. Eagle: Send file 'xmvpe' using 'kermit Protocol
Naztec: Send file 'xmvpn' using 'kermit Protocol
Safetran: Send file 'xmvps' using 'kermit Protocol
The 'Send file' assumes the neccesary installation files are located in an accessible location (unzipped) and which you
have located using Browse in the HyperTerminal SEND command.
The CU should respond with a '$' prompt
1. Type: profile /r0/xm*<Enter>
2. Information will appear which includes:
Eagle:
SEND 'me*' NOW
Naztec:
SEND 'etcsload.vps' NOW
SEND 'mn*' NOW
Safetran:
SEND 'etcsload.vps' NOW
SEND 'ms*' NOW
The 'SEND file(s)' above assumes the neccesary installation files are located in an accessible location (unzipped) and
which you have located using Browse in the HyperTerminal SEND command.
When the procedure file completes & states:
From the following figure depicts the flow for inputs and outputs.
Note A: Custom output mapping is limited by the standard / default serial interface definitions.
Note B: Custom output mapping is limited by the standard / default hardware interface definitions.
Note C: Custom input mapping is limited by the standard / default serial interface definitions.
Note D: Custom input mapping is limited by the standard / default hardware interface definitions.
The sEPAC_Logic_Builder is a Windows based PC program that enables the user to generate the file used by the Eagle EPAC300
Firmware/Software for Custom I/O.
Custom I/O mapping need only address that which needs to be custom. Any function that works as needed or appears on the
needed hardware pin or serial bit need not be addressed in the custom logic.
Each line of custom logic includes an instruction and register designation representing any single output or input. The custom
logic must end with an END instruction.
The first four lines of the logic shown in the above figure shows the custom logic for a four section left-turn protected
permissive signal head for a hardware interface to provide the following sequence:
Green Thru Arrow to be the Thru Phase Green
Green Left Arrow to be the Lagging Phase Green
Yellow Ball to be the Thru Phase Yellow ORed with the Lagging Phase Yellow
Red Ball to be ON at all times except during this Yellow
The signal driver (load switch) logic to produce the desired result is as follows:
Green Thru Arrow : Phase 6 Green > Phase 6 Green (no custom logic required)
Green Left Arrow : Phase 1 Green > Phase 1 Green (no custom logic required)
Yellow Ball : Phase 1 Yellow OR Phase 6 Yellow > Phase 1 Yellow
Red Ball : NOT Phase 1 Yellow OR Phase 6 Yellow > Phase 1 Red
The result of the above is the normal Phase 1 Yellow and Phase 1 Red hardware pin outputs are customized for this application.
Dimming for any capable output can be mapped to any other output capable of dimming. Rising and falling edges are also
mapped among inputs. The current version maps inputs to outputs WITHOUT dimming. Outputs mapped to inputs do not
provide rising or falling edges but activations only. Inputs mapped to detector are not capable of collecting volume &
occupancy.
When the custom logic is saved, two files are created. One file will have a SLB extension and the other a BIN extension after the
user provides the name. A copy of the BIN file must be copied into the /f0/eagle directory of the Eagle EPAC M50 or 2070 ATC
unit and renamed IOMAP.
The structure for the I/O mapping data file is as follows.
Description : 40 bytes (39+nul) e.g. “6th and Congress”
Comment : 40 bytes (39+nul) e.g. “Checked by John Doe on
6/5/2005”
Version Num : 4 byte version number (1 long word)
Number of Instructions : 4 byte instruction count (nn, 1 long word)
Padding : 40 bytes for future expansion
Instruction / Operand : nn long words.
End instruction : nn+1 contains 0x7e7e
Checksum : 4 byte byte-wise checksum over filesize - 4 (1 long
word)
When the unit boots up, if the file /f0/eagle/iomap (with no extension) exists and contains the structure above and the version is
compatible along with a correct checksum then the Custom IO logic routine will be executed.
There are 40 temporary storage locations which make operations such as swapping two outputs or inputs easier.
