SLC5/05: Analog channel input initialization

I need some help on a program I inherited. I have the following rung that is supposed to initialize 2 slots.

SLC5/05

1746-NI8, Analog 8 channel input, class 3
first past, COP (#N10:0) to (#O:2.0), length 16

1746-NT8, Analog 8 channel thermocouple input
first past, COP (#N10:32) to (#O:5.0), length 8

What I don't understand is the COP to #O. I thought that O meant output. Shouldn't be #I instead of #O?

Regards,

Hugo

Some analog modules, including the 8-channel ones you mentioned, use the Output memory for that Slot # to receive configuration data.

There can be some complex ways to configure and use these modules, but COPying configuration data to them from an Integer file is a pretty straightforward method.

The pound sign "#", by the way, is just there because COP is a file instruction and A-B sticks that before the operand to indicate that a block of data starting at that address will be affected.

Thanks Eddie for your explanation.
