Syntax

)

Parameters

outputTerminal

Remarks

If you connect an external signal to a terminal on the I/O connector, the terminal must be in high-impedance state. Otherwise, the device could double-drive the terminal and damage the hardware. If you call this method on a terminal in an active route, the method fails and reports no error back to the user.

Reset sets all terminals on the I/O connector to high-impedance state, but also clears any active tasks associated with the device.
