Environmental input programming Templates are used to load user specified defaults each time a new sensor is connected
to a Host or Node. By properly configuring the Templates before you plug in your sensors, you can minimize the amount
of programming required to set up your sensors. To configure the Templates, click the plus box next to the word Settings
to expand the options under this heading. Next, expand the Input Templates. This will list all of the different sensor types.
Right-click on each of the sensor names to bring up the individual Template programming screens. An example is shown

Once you've configured the Input Templates, connect your sensors. This will automatically load the template programming
for each sensor. All sensors connect to the Host and Node via RJ45 connectors. This allows you to use your existing struc-
