Monitor Block Transfers in Scanner Mode

To monitor a block transfer module, right-click on the module in the I/O tree
and select Monitor BT Module from the pull-down menu.

The 1756-RIO BTMon, or block transfer module window, displays.

Some analog output modules have only an associated block transfer write.
Analog input modules have a block transfer write for configuring the module,
a block transfer read for data, and a block transfer read for status.

The upper portion of the screen is the block transfer read; the lower portion is
the block transfer write.

The raw data can be displayed as hexadecimal, signed, or unsigned integer. The
default format for block transfer data is hexadecimal.

ATTENTION

You must set the RSLinx communication path to start the
BTMon utility.
