"Pulling" a pin low

Does this mean to short it out?

For instance, we've currently got our maxbotix sonar in constant polling mode. If I wanted it only to check distance on command, would I hook up the RX pin to a digital output, or a relay, and turn it on?

I'm a little confused about the terminology.
