Driver Block Parameters
Channel vector -- Enter numbers between 1 and 8 to select the digital input lines used with this port. This driver allows the selection of individual digital input lines in any order. The number of elements defines the number of digital lines used.
For example, to use all of the digital inputs for one port, enter
Number the lines beginning with 1 even if the board manufacturer starts numbering the lines with 0.
Port -- From the list choose either A, B, or C. The port name defines which port is used for this driver block. Each port has a maximum of 8 digital lines that can be configured as inputs. In each case, one block is needed for each port.
Sample time -- Enter a base sample time or a multiple of the base sample time.
Base address -- Enter the base address of the board. This entry must corresponds to the DIP-switch settings on the board. For example, if the base address is 300 (hexadecimal), enter
