Examines a bit for an Off (cleared, low) condition.
OTE
Output Energize
When rung conditions are true, the OTE will either set or clear the data bit.
OTL
Output Latch
When enabled, the instruction signals to the controller to turn on the addressed bit. The bit remains on, regardless of the rung condition.
