Input I/O

The Input I/O setup pane is comprised of two buttons and four tabs located at the top of the page.

The four tabs are:

General Settings is used to set up the input I/O port.

Marker Settings is used to set up the marker settings for the input I/O port.

Power Calibration Settings is used to set up the power meter settings for the input I/O port.

Power Calibration Graphics displays an illustration showing some important power calibration parameters.

The name of the block (in this case, I/O 1 Port A1(Input)) is displayed at the top of the setup pane. This name was assigned when the configuration was selected. The name was confirmed when the external instrument connected to the port was assigned in the Assign External Instrument dialog box. This input I/O port is also displayed in the External Instrument Table and the block diagram. When the Closedname is selected, additional choices, including a selection to show or hide the Hints area, are displayed. 

Restore Default Settings returns the input I/O settings to their default values. This has the same function as the button described below.

Show Hints will show or hide the Hints area below the parameter descriptions of each tab. The check mark at the left of Show Hints indicates that the hints are currently displayed.

Block Diagram displays the current configuration block diagram. This has the same function as the button described below.
