GPI OUT
The DME64N has sixteen GPI OUT ports, the DME24N has eight, and the DME8i-C/DME8o-C/
DME4io-C have four.
These settings determine which DME parameter values will be output via each individual GPI IN
ports. The ports numbers are shown in the leftmost column.
[Function]
Specifies the function to be transmitted via a GPI output.
The four available functions are: [No Assign], [Parameter Value Edit], [Scene Change], and [GPI
Lock].
The [Parameter], [Threshold], [Terminal], and [Polarity] items will change according to the selected
function.
• [No Assign]
No function assigned, and no GPI output will occur. This is the default setting.
Select [No Assign] to clear an assigned function.
The [Parameter], [Threshold], [Terminal], and [Polarity] items are not available.
• [Parameter Value Edit]
Allows component parameter values to be output via GPI.
In this case [Parameter] is used to select the parameter to be output.
[Threshold] specifies the parameter threshold value.
[Terminal] and [Polarity] determine how the GPI voltage will be output in response to
parameter changes.

Ignored
When value of the specified parameter is above the threshold level the
output will be high, and when below the threshold level the output will be
low.
Ignored
When value of the specified parameter is below the threshold level the
output will be high, and when above the threshold level the output will be
low.
A pulse
*1
will be output when the value of the parameter changes from
below to above the threshold.
A pulse
*1
will be output when the value of the parameter changes from
above to below the threshold.
A pulse
*2
will be output when the value of the parameter changes from
below to above the threshold.
A pulse
*2
will be output when the value of the parameter changes from
