7i92 + 7i76 - Analog inputs

Normally there is analog inputs available on the 7i76E Input 00-03.
Is there a way that I can get Analog inputs from a 7i92+7i76 too?

I also read in the manual on page 14: Quote:
ANALOG INPUTS All field input pins are capable of reading the input voltage. These are not highly accurate or high resolution but can be useful for things like potentiometer inputs. Input resolution is 8 bits and input full scale value is 36.3V. Accuracy is +-5%. Software process data modes 1 and 2 allow reading the analog voltage on inputs 0 through 3, in addition to the 32 digital bit inputs.
FIELD

But how do I access these analog inputs? Do I need specific firmware for this?

Thank you in advance. Regards

Yes the 7i76 has the same analog inputs available as the 7i76e and you access them the same way. (seting the software mode with the hostmot2 drivier line in the hal file)

No you don't need special firmware. (unless the firmware on your 7i76 is really old, then it might need updated.)
