Configure the Module

Determine the operating parameters for channel 0. In this example,
the figure shows the channel 0 configuration word defined with all
defaults (0) except for channel enable (bit 11). The addressing reflects
the location of the module as slot 1.

For details on how to configure the module for your application, refer
to chapter 4 and chapter 5.

A configuration worksheet is included on page 132 to assist you in
channel configuration.

For more information refer to chapter 5, Channel Configuration, Data,
and Status.
