IO Mapping

The above image shows the I/O mapping pane of CIGI. This allows user to perform the following:

  1. Specify the IG properties such as IG IP, IG Port, and Host Port
  2. Select the CIGI version and sampling rate
  3. Create and delete CIGI packets such as Entities and Articulated Parts
  4. Map the individual properties of a packet to an RTDB item
