Configuration Channel configuration words appear in the SLC controller’s output image
table as shown below. Words 0-7 correspond to module channels 0-7.

way the channel operates (e.g., input type, temperature units, etc.). You
configure the channel by setting bits in the configuration word using your
programmer. We present bit descriptions next.
