You use this dialog to define the properties of an I/O card. Usually, I/O cards reside in rack slots, therefore you have to navigate to a slot where you want to add a new I/O card. However, Smart Instrumentation allows you to create flexible wiring hierarchies and therefore you can add an I/O card to a number of various item types.
Note that I/O cards may or may not have built-in termination blocks. If an I/O card does not have a built-in termination block, you need to associate it with an I/O termination.
To define an I/O card that has a built-in termination block, create an I/O card and then add a terminal strip with channels under this I/O card.
In any case, you need to create a terminal strip with channels under an I/O card to be able to effect I/O assignment and make connections.
When editing the properties of an existing I/O card, this dialog opens when you select the required I/O card, and on the shortcut menu, select Properties.
