Hardware Setup Changes After
Removing a Card
In this case, the Hardware Setup dialog will reflect
the change to the installed I/O cards. The remain-
ing inputs and outputs will function normally.
For example, if you remove the Analog Input card,
the Analog Input tab will disappear from the Hard-
ware Setup dialog.
You will lose the configuration of any pairs of in-
puts or outputs that were assigned to the card being
removed.
