Note that if the # of input and output cards on your data logger are not equal, you may encounter some download errors when downloading the labels. If this is the case, you should define the actual number of phystical inputs and outputs using the "IO Labels" tab. If you are using pseudo inputs/outputs, do NOT accept allowing the system to change the # of labels.
