Channel configuration words appear in the SLC controller’s output image
table as shown below. Words 0-7 correspond to module channels 0-7.
After module installation, you must configure each channel to establish the
way the channel operates (e.g., input type, temperature units, etc.). You
configure the channel by setting bits in the configuration word using your
programmer. We present bit descriptions next.
