​
Software-Defined I/O
Ultimate Programmable I/O Flexibility
The G11 provides 16 software-defined multipurpose I/O connections which can be dynamically configured in real time.
​
Each I/O port can operate independently using multiple programmable modes, allowing the platform to adapt to changing monitoring, sensing and control requirements entirely through software.
​
Ports can be rapidly reconfigured during operation, for example measuring voltage and then resistance using the same physical connection.
