The IO Collection tab allows the user to add, subtract, or move IO's.
The list of IO commands is listed on the left side of the page. This list contains all of the IO's that are listed on the Pointer Tab Page.
The user may add additional IO's to the list by typing the name into the "Name" box, deciding the type of IO using the dropdown menu listed under IO Type, and selecting the "+" button to add it to the list.

The user may change the location of the IO's by useing the "^" and "~" buttons. The "^" will move the selected IO up one. The "~" will move the selected IO down one.

To Remove an IO from the list click on it and then select the Remove button "-".

Once all of these options have been completed the user must save and restart the workspace. When the workspace is restarted the IO options will be listed within the Digital IO Manager.
