GPIs Submenu
The GPIs submenu lets you assign functions to the eight input GPIs. A
GPI (general purpose interface) is simply an active-low TTL pulse or
contact closure that is output by one device to trigger a function in
another device. See Section 2 – Installation for information on physically
interconnecting GPI inputs and outputs.
There are two boxes in this menu. The top one lists the GPIs and their
current functions. The bottom one lists the functions that you can assign
to the GPIs. Black highlight bars in each box indicate the current GPI
input and the current function.
NOTE: To enable GPIs, you must enable the GPI port in
the Remote Port Enables menu.
