Specifying a Port in an Module
The Analog Output, Digital Output and Pulser modules in the 9700 Power
Meter allow you to specify which port a signal is sent to. Similarly, the
Analog Input and Digital Input modules allow you to specify which port to
monitor for incoming signals.
When you access any of these module’s Port setup register, all expansion
board ports will be available selections, even if there is no expansion board
connected to the 9700 Power Meter. The AUX inputs will only appear in
Port setup registers if the optional analog input card is installed. The
following tables indicate what ports selections are available with the
different 9700 Power Meter I/O options.

Auxiliary analog input options include 0-20mA, 0-1mA, 0-1V and 0-10V
Note that module setup registers will only display the ports that are not yet
assigned. As the 9700 Power Meter’s factory configuration makes use of all
eight status inputs, STATUS1 through STATUS8 will not appear in new
Digital Input modules you create. To make a STATUS port available, set the
Port setup register to NOT USED in one of the factory-configured Digital
Input modules.
