GPIO
GPIO controls for both the Encoder and Decoder use the same conventions. Each GPI or
GPO has its own control section comprised of 4 parts:
1.
A drop-down menu for Pin Behavior selects between Latching and Pulse. For GPO’s,
pulse duration can be set to 250ms, 500ms, and 1 second, providing maximum flexibili-
ty in triggering other equipment.
2.
A drop down menu for Function selects the available choices. Choices depend on
whether you have selected Latching or Pulse behavior and whether your unit is an
Encoder or Decoder. Some combinations are not permitted (for example, a latching pin
type tied to a reboot function could result in a reboot loop, not exactly a “feature”).
3.
The Save button must be pressed once you have made a selection in the drop down
menus. While there are individual Save buttons for each GPI or GPO section, any one
of them will globally save the entire page. Note that if you move to a different screen
before saving, settings will revert to previous values. When you press Save, you’ll see a
“GPIO settings updated” message in the upper right corner of the display.
4.
A Test button and indicator lamp allows you to test your wiring, and verify that closures
are firing. Test indicator lamps are also visible on the Dashboard screen(s). Note that
the Test button is built to mimic the currently saved GPO or GPI pin behavior, for exam-
ple, if you have selected a 1 Sec Pulse, the Test button will fire a pulse of this duration.
