Monitor Mode
If you are using the 1756-RIO module in Monitor mode, you can monitor the
existing system to capture block transfer timing and configuration data, then
export a scanner configuration file that contains that data. To use the exported
configuration file, follow these steps.
1. Switch the 1756-RIO module back to scanner mode.
2. Load the exported configuration file to scan the Remote I/O network.
Field Description
FileName Name the file and select the autobrowse button to search for the directory and/or file
where you want to save the file.
The current *.rio file is for adapter mode. When you export the scanner configuration
file, you are making a new *.rio file for scanner mode. You do not want to overwrite
the adapter *.rio file, so it must be saved at this point.

Capture from Online Monitor or Use Defaults from
Templates
The configuration and timing data for block transfers can be based on the default
configuration data from the block transfer module templates, or on the configuration
data and update times the adapter has observed on the network.
This is a global selection and affects the data saved for all block transfer modules.
