4. Open the Output Module drop-down list at the bottom left of the window (Figure B-2) and

NOTE
When an existing .JOB file containing a WriteDiscrete function is loaded on an In-Sight
sensor to which the I/O Expansion Module has just been added, the Start Bit and
Number of Bits parameters in WriteDiscrete must be changed to reflect the new
configuration of the I/O lines. For example, the physical output lines 0 and 1 become
lines 8 and 9 (HSOUT 0 and HSOUT 1) when the I/O Expansion Module is enabled.
6. Click OK to save the new settings to the sensor’s flash RAM.
NOTE An error message will appear if the I/O Expansion Module is not attached to the In-Sight
sensor, and the Discrete Output dialog will return to its default configuration. Verify that
the I/O Expansion Module is connected, then repeat steps 1 - 6 as described above.
