Multiple IOAGATEs can be started concurrently.

The parameters of each IOAGATE are defined in the ECAPARMx member of each IOAGATE in the IOA.PARM library, where x is a unique 1‑character suffix to the member name. The specific ECAPARM member to be loaded and used by a specific IOAGATE is specified by the PSFX parameter at IOAGATE startup. For example, PSFX=X is used with the ECAPARMX member.

When this option is selected, the IOAGATE Parameters Menu is displayed:
