Configure the Module
Determine the operating parameters for channel 0. In this example,
the figure shows the channel 0 configuration word defined with all
defaults (0) except for channel enable (bit 11). The addressing reflects
the location of the module as slot 1.
For details on how to configure the module for your application, refer
to chapter 4 and chapter 5.
A configuration worksheet is included on page 132 to assist you in
channel configuration.
For more information refer to chapter 5, Channel Configuration, Data,
and Status.

If proportional counts data format is used, then output words 4…7
can be used to define a user-set scaling range for each channel.
* Scaling Select bits apply to proportional counts mode.
Limit Scale W ords are only used if scaling select = 01
