Set I/O parameter values
You set the I/O parameter values when you want to use analog signals to
notify other instruments of the status of the separations module. You can do
any of these things:
• Notify a detector that an injection began.
• Turn on a heating plate or a stirring bar in a solvent reservoir.
• Notify a third-party data system or integrator that an event occurred.
• Activate a switching valve.
• Sound a buzzer.
