GPI Setup Menu
From the GPI setup menu, you can choose GPI files from the list of previously saved setup files
and load them into each GPI input. You can can step through each file to verify that the selected
files were the correct ones, and that the sequence by which these files were listed was correct.
If needed, you can edit each GPI list by removing, adding, or inserting any number of files.
GPI 1 to 5
These windows allows the user to set up the files in the order by which they will be
loaded when triggered by the signal connected to each respective GPI input.

With each press, this button will add the highlighted file in the files list to the selected
GPI events list.
Remove
Press this button to remove a highlighted file from the selected GPI events list.
Remove All
This button will remove all the files from the selected GPI events list.
Step
Press this button to move down through the highlighted file selection and automatically
load the selected file into the current work space. Any file on the GPI events list can
be highlighted and loaded in the current work space by touching the corresponding
file name.
Reset
Pressing this button will select the top file from the GPI files list without loading the first
file. The first file will be loaded when the first GPI pulse is detected.
GPI Input Enable
This checkbox enables or disables individual GPI inputs separately based on the
setting of the GPI input select control.
GPI High Enable
Enables the software to detect either low to high or high to low transitions of the
GPI inputs.
The GPI inputs are triggered by the logic level of the input signal, not by the transition
edges. If GPI high enable is checked, the selected input will be triggered by a high
logic state. If GPI high is not checked, the selected input will be triggered by a low
logic state.
GPI IN Delay
This is a delay between detecting a GPI input and that of actual execution of the GPI
list. The GPI input delay can be set at different values for each input. The maximum
delay is 120 Frames.
Close
Selecting this button will close the window and exit the GPI setup menu.
