Operator Library: Hardware Platform
The operator GPI provides an interface to the digital inputs. Via parameter Pin_ID, you select the digital input (which is wired to a physical pin on a GPIO unit) you want to use for receiving a signal. The same digital inputs can be used by multiple operators.
For all platforms except the imaFlex CXP-12 Quad and imaFlex CXP-12 Penta platforms: If you use a device with several GPIO units, use parameter ConnectorType to select the GPIO unit you want to address (Front GPIO or GPIO). On the imaFlex CXP-12 Quad and imaFlex CXP-12 Penta platforms, the parameter ConnectorType is not available.
For the mapping of digital inputs and pin connectors, check the User Manual of your frame grabber.

Via parameter PinID, you define the digital input (which is wired to a physical pin on a GPIO socket) you want to use for receiving a signal. The same digital inputs can be used by multiple operators. FrontGpiN represents the GPI for the Front GPIO connector. ExtensionGpiN represents the GPI for Extension GPIO side connector.

Via parameter Pin_ID, you define the digital input (which is wired to a physical pin on a GPIO socket) you want to use for receiving a signal. The same digital inputs can be used by multiple operators. [0;3] The value range is 0-3 for the Front GPIO on marathon, the Front GPIO on LightBridge, and the GPIO on LightBridge. [0;7] For the GPIO on marathon and in all other cases, the value range is 0-7.

Via parameter ConnectorType, you define which GPIO socket (GPIO or Front GPIO) you want to address with the value you enter for parameter Pin_ID.
