Settings
The Settings window contains four tabs that provide information and control settings for the DSR 100-15 Controller.
Configuration
The Configuration tab allows the control for the loop monitor window to be toggled on and off, and also provides the
controls for GPIO setup.
Loop Monitoring:
The Loop Monitoring checkbox turns the loop monitor window on or off. When the box is checked, the loop monitor
window will be displayed during test playback. For more information about loop monitoring, see the topic
"Loop
Monitoring."
GPIO Setup:
The GPIO Setup checkboxes are used to configure the usage of the DSR 100-15 Controller's three dedicated GPIO ports.
These ports located on the DSR 100-15 Controller's back panel DB-15 connector (using pins 7 and 14 referenced to
ground on pin 13) and DB-9 connector using (pin 6 referenced to ground on pin 3). The DSR 100-15 Controller's back
panel can be accessed by removing the DSR 100-15 back panel. See the topic "Accessing the GPIO Ports" for more
information.
IMPORTANT:
The GPIO pins are tied directly to the microprocessor and are not isolated. Take care not to exceed
maximum ratings as permanent damage can occur. We highly recommend optical isolation (opto-coupler, solid state
relay, etc.) be used on all GPIO pins before connecting to external equipment.
Each GPIO port can be configured as an Input or an Output.
GPIO Input:
When a GPIO port is configured as an input, it can be used in a GPIO Trigger segment. When a GPIO
Trigger segment is reached in a test sequence, the DSR 100-15 will pause and wait for the specified signal to be received
on the designated GPIO port. When the signal is received, the test sequence will continue with the next segment following
the trigger. NOTE: Only one GPIO port should be configured as an Input for use as a Trigger.
The electrical characteristics of a GPIO port when programmed as an input:
Voltage:
Logic 0 = 0VDC; Logic 1 = 3.3VDC
Impedance:
=>10 Mohm
GPIO Output:
When a GPIO port is configured as an output, it can be used in a GPIO Output segment. When a GPIO
Output segment is reached in a test sequence, the specified signal(s) will be sent through the GPIO port(s) designated in
the GPIO Output segment. NOTE: Up to three GPIO ports can be configured as Outputs for use in one or more GPIO
