Is there a big difference from these instructions when changing the value of a digital output?
except for the 2 arguments \sDelay & \Sync i couldnt find any ..

    No there is no big difference. The Set/Reset instruction is a newer version. I think the SetDo is a relic.

    SetDO has more timing options. Set and Reset are simple turn on / turn off.

    SetDo is great when you don't know if you want to set the output high or low, but you have it stored in a dionum variable.

    That way you can write:
    SetDO <output>, <variable>;

    Instead of:

    IF <variable>=1 THEN
        Set <output>;
    ELSE
        Reset <output>;
    ENDIF
