The "Configure I/O Channels" window (see Figure 3.2) presents the I/O configurations in their P-groups to match
the connection panel layout (see Figure 2.3 – Omni Connection Panel types and Diagram). Bits 1-4 make up the
first connection panel and Bits 5-8 make up the second panel. Choose which inputs to set to outputs and toggle
the radio buttons at those coordinates. When set to output the "Input Output" text changes color to red. When
set to input the text color is green. Click the "OK" button to save these changes.
After the cards have been configured, from the "Hardware Configuration" window click the "Auto Map SmartCtrl
and OmniCtrl Cards" or if appropriate "Auto Map 2 Boxes per OmniCtrl Card" button. Alternatively, through
the "Tools" menu, choose "Auto Map SmartCtrl and OmniCtrl Cards" or "Auto Map 2 Boxes per OmniCtrl Card",
this will raise the appropriate Auto Mapping window. A brief description is given of how many cards will be
mapped to how many chambers. Select "OK" to map the cards and view the allocation of ports across the
chambers in the "Hardware Summary" window (see Figure 3.3). Select the Close button to exit the Hardware
Summary. To save your changes, close the HCU and select "Yes" when prompted to save the hardware
configuration.
