The RMC has two digital inputs and two digital outputs on the main CPU. In addition, if you purchased a package with either or both of the Communication and Sensor Digital I/O modules, you will have additional digital inputs and outputs. During setup it is helpful to be able to view the status of these inputs and outputs. The I/O Bit Monitor is provided for this purpose.
To display the I/O Bit Monitor, do one of the following from the main window:
On the Window menu, click I/O Bit Monitor.
Press CTRL+M.
The bit monitor displays check boxes for each input and output on your RMC module. When an input is on, the box will have a check in it. When the input is off, it will be blank. Similarly, the output check boxes will be checked when the RMC is driving an output.
Recall that inputs and outputs on the Digital I/O modules can be inverted using software. For inverted inputs, the I/O Bit monitor displays them after they have been inverted. For inverted outputs, the I/O Bit monitor displays them before they have been inverted.
