Resolution

Using software, specify the number of digital I/O lines to read or 
write at once by specifying the resolution as 8, 16, 24, or 32. 

Table 1

 

shows the effect of resolution on the number of DIN and DOUT 
subsystems available for a bank.

Note:

If you are using digital input banks 10 and 11 in continuous 

mode, the resolution is always 16 bits.
