CHAPTER 6
IO TERMINAL
This chapter contains instructions for monitoring sensors and other field 
devices.
Introduction to IO Terminal
The IO Terminal application connects to sensors and other field devices 
through a communication port. When there is an open terminal connection 
to the sensor, you can monitor the messages it sends and send commands 
to check and modify the device status. 
You can use IO Terminal to:
- Open terminal connections to sensors and other field devices.
- Send commands to sensors and other field devices.
- Monitor and log messages sent by sensors or other field devices.
- View communication settings.
CAUTION
When the IO Terminal connection to sensors or other field devices is open 
through an active CDU, no sensor data is usable further in the AviMet 
system. In duplicated systems, connecting through the server enables 
viewing sensor data without interrupting the data flow.
