How to modifying an existing opto22 configurations:

1. Run the opto22 IOmanager program.
   Open the .otg file of the device you wish to change.
   Configuration files are located at //duke/tcs3/public_html/tcs3/computers/opto22/

2. Double click on points folder to bring up the 
   'Configure I/O Points' dialog box.  Using t3fioa as an example:

      t3fioa_config
        +----I/O Unit
           +---t3fioa
              +---points

3. In 'Configure I/O Points' dialog box, you can add/delete/change the
   module configuration& name the channels. All channels should be named
   (even unused one): if not named, the brain may ignore the channel (even if the
   module is idenified).

4. After all edits are done, save the file.

5. Under the 'Tools' menu, bring up the 'Send Configuration to the I/O Unit' dialog
   box to update the brain's configuration.
