Controls up to three digital stages and a single analog stage.
The number of stages in use is set by the property 'Stages'.
The single analog stage provides a modulated output for each stage. As shown in Figure 22, the analog output is the first output to stage at t0. As the input continues to increase, Out2 turns on, and Out1 turns off at t1. If the input continues to increase, Out1 will increase from 0.0% to 100% while Out2 remains on. When Out1 reaches 100% at t2, Out3 turns on. At this point Out1 goes to 0.0% and Out2 and Out3 are on. The process continues until, at t4, all three digital outputs will be on and the analog output will be at its maximum.
