 TTL functionality differs based on whether the controller is a Tiger (TG-1000) or MS2000/RM2000 controller, due to hardware differences. Some TTL modes are only available with certain firmware modules.
-The Tiger (TG-1000) and MS2000 controller electronics have a buffered TTL input (''IN0'') and output (''OUT0'') port that are usually connected to the IN and OUT BNC connectors on the back of the controller. These ports allow voltages in the range of 0V to 5V as an input, where any voltage below 0.95v(+-0.3v) is a LOGIC LOW signal. Any signal above 1.6 V (+-0.3 V) is considered a LOGIC HIGH state. Any signals in between 0.95 to 1.6 V will maintain the same logic state that was registered from the last //known// state (Schmitt Triggered inputs). The TTL input has a 10K Ohm resistor to ground, and connecting to the input of a Schmitt Trigger 5W TTL gate. The output is CMOS-compatible 5v TTL directly from a single CMOS gate. The behavior of these connectors are determined by the ''IN0_mode'' and ''OUT0_mode'' parameters set by the ''TTL X'' and ''TTL Y'' commands respectively. There are also has several unbuffered I/O ports on the motherboard that are occasionally exposed for special purposes.

 For MS2000/RM2000, the controller replies with the inverse polarity, <wrap reply> :A 1 </wrap> when the signal is low and <wrap reply> :A 0 </wrap> when the signal is high.  This is a logical bug in the firmware, but because it was in the field so long before being noticed we made the intentional decision to keep the behavior unchanged.
