Here you can set IO and MX mapping aliases that you can use in your test sequence. Learn how to use IO in [Digital I/O](/funtest-documentation/creating-test-sequence/funtest-commands/digital-i-o.md)and Test Points in [Test Point Control](/funtest-documentation/creating-test-sequence/test-point-control.md)
