A.1 Configuring the In-Sight Sensor’s I/O Settings
Before an I/O Expansion Module can be used, the In-Sight sensor’s settings must be
configured to recognize the availability of the additional inputs and outputs, as well as the
added serial hardware handshaking capability. The I/O Expansion Module may be
configured using In-Sight Explorer.
A.1.1 Configuring the I/O Expansion Module Using In-Sight Explorer
1. Physically connect the I/O Expansion Module to the sensor, as described in sections 3.3 and
3.4.
2. Open In-Sight Explorer and log on to the sensor.
3. From the Sensor menu, select the Discrete I/O Settings submenu. Select the Output Settings
option (
Figure A-1).
