5: Inputs, Relay Outputs, and Power 5 Status

•Capturing External Events

• Power Modes and	The PinPoint X has special features for use in a mobile
Information	environment. The PinPoint X can be configured to monitor the
	input, respond to specific types of events, and even trigger a
	digital output. The PinPoint X can also be configured to change
	its power mode in order to conserve power. These features can
	be configured to your needs.
	Capturing External Events
	The PinPoint X is equipped with an I/O port interface which
	includes 4 digital inputs, 4 analog inputs, and 2 relay outputs.
	These may be connected to sensors and switches to monitor
	vehicle status and remotely control equipment.

	Analog Inputs

The analog inputs will report a specific voltage ranging from 0 to 30 in increments of 0.03 volts. This allows a fine degree of monitoring for a scaling device.

•Monitoring a voltage or power usage.

•Monitoring an oscilloscope.

•Monitoring temperature.

•Monitoring an incremental gauge.

•Monitoring an internal fan.

•Monitoring a vehicle payload.

•Monitoring the elevation of a tow bar.

•Monitoring a vehicle’s battery use.
