Version 2.1 of Concept introduced a tool for importing Modconnect module definition files into the Concept
database. This allows you to configure Modconnect I/O. However, Concept 2.1 does not provide a means for
you to design your own I/O configuration menus. Instead, Concept provides a generic interface in which you
must enter configuration parameters in hexadecimal values. To save you the trouble of calculating the correct
hexadecimal values for configuration parameters, Spectrum provides the SCIOCFG utility.
SCIOCFG presents user-friendly selection lists using standard Windows interfaces. The utility automatically
constrains all parameters to legal values during the data entry process. You can run the utility in standalone mode
or synchronous mode. In standalone mode, you will configure module data as desired. SCIOCFG then presents
the parameters in hexadecimal values so that you can manually transfer this data to Concept at a later time.
