eIODO_Contact_str
This value refers to each individual contact, and is specified in the FieldPoint Explorer. Valid
values are in the range between 01 and 16 for the currently supported FP-DO-401. Note
contact numbers start with 01 and are incremented by one. You must specify the leading 0 in
the numbering (do not specify 1, but specify instead 01). Note that some peripherals of National
Instruments include labels and documentations where contacts start numbering at 0 up to 15,
whereas eIO starts at 01 up to 16.

eIODO_Seconds_n
When the eKERNEL sends a <msgrqs> to change the state of the contact, the eIO performs
the requested operation.
The state of the discrete output changes from 0 to 1.
The value eIODO_Seconds_n specifies the number of seconds a digital output remains
activated. For instance, if the value 5 is specified, the signal remains 1 for 5 seconds, then the
signal drops again to 0.
The special value triggers the contact for a very small amount of time. The value immediately
returns to 0. In many environments the signal is too short to steer an external peripheral.
A typical value is 5 so that the discrete contact is activated for 5 seconds and then returns to
an idle state.

eIODO_Comments_str
This field can contain remarks from the administrator. The value is informational only, and does
not affect processing.
