Trigger INPUT on the Front GPIO
If you
- are using the GPI operator (for defining trigger input signals),
- have set parameter Connector Type to Front GPIO,
the values of parameter Pin_ID address the following pins:
The input (GPI) pins of the Front GPIO are configurable. You can use the six input pins to receive either:
a) 3 differential signals, or
b) 2 differential signals and 1 single-ended signal , or
c) 4 single-ended signals.
To configure the input pins on Front GPIO for a specific signal type (differential or single-ended), you have two modes available:
- Mode “Differential” (providing options a and b)
- Mode “Single-ended“ (providing option c)
Default mode for the Front GPIO is mode „Differential“. How to switch modes, see Configuring the Physical Properties of Trigger Signals.

In default configuration, the GPIO pins of the Front GPIO offer:
If you need another configuration of the input signals, i.e.:
you can easily configure the GPIs according to your needs. For configuration, you use a command line tool which has been installed on your system together with the Silicon Software runtime. For more information, see Input Configuration and Configuring the Physical Properties of Trigger Signals. |
