XPoint Software 

The GP-xx panels may be programmed to control audio and logic signal cross-points, fire Salvos, 
activate surface presets, and other functions. The GP-16 Configuration Tool may require you to 
enter Source and Destination signal ID’s, Salvo indexes, and other numerical data based on ID 
numbers generated in XPoint. You will need access to the XPoint software and your system’s 
configuration to get the required information. 

 
 
 

2.5 - GP-16P Help File 

The GP-16P Configuration Tool software has an extensive Windows Help Menu system. You 
will definitely want to utilize this asset while programming as it can be an invaluable aid, 
especially when creating custom scripts.
