As far as I know, you can use either analog or digital inputs on the DS. I don't know of any rules limiting that. In fact, we will be adding a switch to our DS as insurance. What I mean by that is that we already have our code set to receive our alliance info from the FMS. That way it will automatically target the correct color set. The switch will be coded in if the FMS, for some odd reason, does not provide the information that the new vi's are looking for.
