. The corresponding ports display on the tab.
If the ‘Machine Control’ tab is blank, perform a ‘Diagonal Take’ (step 7), connecting port 1 to
port 1, and so on. When ports are connected to themselves in this manner, the port’s connec-
tions are automatically tri-stated.
Note Each control card must be configured separately.
Note When the ‘Machine Control’ tab is selected, entries in the ‘Physical Output
Range’ and in ‘Single Take’ fields refer to machine control port numbers, not
physical input or output numbers on the frame.
