2273461

The TestScale Core Module may not respond to line state changes made in the TestScale Soft Front Panel or in hardware.

By default, the TestScale Soft Front Panel functions normally for the TestScale Core Module. However, once the line directions are changed, the TestScale Core Module no longer works. As a result, the TestScale Core Module may not respond to any line state changes. No error message or indication is displayed to explain this issue.

Workaround:

The DIO channels are grouped into two digital ports, one containing channels 0, 1, 2, and 3, and the other containing channels 4, 5, 6, and 7. Ensure four channels in the same digital port share the same line direction, and configure each digital port for input or output separately.
