OpenLayers Module¶
Establish a connection to an OpenLayers module from Data Translation, which allows you to read and write digital signals.
This node initializes the module. If you connect its output to a GetProperty node, you can gather information about the device. Usually you would connect the output to an OpenLayers DigIn node to read electrical input, or an OpenLayers DigOut node to write electrical output.
The OpenLayers modules are connected via USB or PCI to a PC and support a variety of input/output lines. The modules may have additional features, such as counters, etc., but these are not yet supported.
