====================================

Implementation Details

The Digital Logic element applies logical operations to the input digital bits. For the logical operation truth table, please refer to the table below.

Bit 1	Bit 2	AND	OR	NAND	NOR	XOR	NXOR
0	0	0	0	1	1	0	1
0	1	0	1	1	0	1	0
1	0	0	1	1	0	1	0
1	1	1	1	0	0	0	1

The following figure shows the system in the example file digital_logic.icp.

The table below shows the input signals and the output for different logical operations.
