General Purpose I/O
MENU | Machine Setup | External Control | General Purpose I/O
The General Purpose I/O function allows you to assign each general purpose input and output ports.
Six input and three output ports are provided on the GPI/O connector. Please note:
• The six input ports are typically assigned to specific transport functions, such as PLAY,
STOP, and RECORD.
• The three output ports are typically assigned as tallies, for purposes of tracking input
functions (e.g., by lighting an external LED).
• The three output ports are linked to input ports 1 through 3. When input port #1, 2, or 3 is
triggered, for example, output port #1, 2, or 3 is automatically triggered, respectively.
Use the following steps to set the general purpose I/O port assignments:
1. On the Setup External Control Menu, select item 4 (GENERAL PURPOSE I/O). The
Setup General Purpose I/O Menu appears.
