Configure the serial-I/O monitoring task.

Mandatory Arguments:

(none)

Optional Arguments:

Interval dt

The interval between measurements.

Example 1:

The following example tells the monitor task to readout the serial I/O modules every 2 minutes.

  monitor interval=2m

Context:

A number of systems in the CBI are monitored via a daisy chain of serial I/O modules. On request, each serial I/O module, reports the values of all of its analog inputs. By default, the monitor task makes these requests to all the modules in the register map of the monitor board, one at a time every 5 minutes. This sampling time can be changed with the interval= option. Modules that don't respond are checked every time, but their responses are timed out after 2 seconds.
