1.8.3.2 Setting Up Input, Output and Option Cards
The Model GS868 has two built-in analog outputs, which are assigned to Slot 0 . Also, a variety of option cards may be
installed in the six expansion slots. See Chapter 1, Installation, of the Startup Guide for a complete description of the
available option cards.
Note:
For this discussion,
Slot x

(Slot 1 - Slot 6)
. If the
number of a slot with an installed option card does not appear, the card may not have been initialized or it
may be defective. Call the factory for assistance.
