This menu allows you to set 7 assignable functions for remote control via the GPI interface on the back of the monitor (RJ-

45 connector labeled GPI).  Simply select one of the GPI slots, 1 through 7, and press ENTER to generate a list of available 

functions that can be toggled using the GPI interface.

When looking at the GPI RJ-45 Connector located on the back of the monitor the pins are arranged 1 through 8 from right to 

left. This GPI interface is a contact closure based system and PIN 5 is always the ground.  The GPI numbering on the GPI 

menu corresponds to the physical Pin assignments as follows:

To prevent conflicts between menu toggles and GPI commands some features such as the marker selection toggle must be 

set to GPI in their respective menus (i.e. Marker Menu) in order to function properly.

If using FSI’s GPI Keypad Lock to lockout the monitor’s keypad or menu the corresponding Keyboard Locking or Menu 

Locking function must be set to GPI 1.

NOTE:  As  of  firmware  version 
9.53-1907  or  later  you  must  set 
the  UDisk  Mode  (System  Menu) 
to  OFF  in  order  to  use  the  GPI 
Contact  Closure  port  for  remote 
control.
