Remote Input Output (RIO) device properties
Serial Port
The RIO 80, RIO 44 and RIO 08 have a multi-protocol serial port that can be configured to either RS232 full-
duplex or RS485 half-duplex operation. The configuration options are:
l
Type - select RS232 or RS485 as required
l
Baud rate - select the baud rate
l
Data bits - select the number of data bits (typically 8)
l
Stop bits - select the number of stop bits
l
Parity - select the parity type
I/O Configuration
The RIO 80, RIO 44 and RIO 08 differ by virtue of the number and type of I/O ports:
RIO 80 Eight inputs, no outputs & serial port
RIO 44 Four inputs, four outputs & serial port
RIO 08 No inputs, eight outputs & serial port
Inputs can be individually configured as either Contact Closure, Digital or Analog with the latter two modes allow-
ing for the threshold or range to be selected. Outputs can be individually configured with a Startup state, whether
the relay is on or off at startup.
See basic triggers for usage.

l
Gain - turn Auto gain on or off, and set the manual gain level
l
Peak Decay Rate - set the rate at which peaks in each frequency band will decay (the peak level can be
used in triggers)
l
Initially Enabled - the audio feed from a RIO A can be turned on or off by triggers, and here you can set the
initial state
See advanced triggers for usage.
Timecode
The stereo balanced line level audio input of a RIO A can be used for timecode input. Select the Timecode button
to enable this mode and to see the following configuration options:
l
Channel - the audio input of the RIO A that the timecode input will be connected to
