Panasonic BT-LH900E manual Remote specifications, GPI connector, List of functions allocated

REMOTE specifications

This monitor can be operated by remote control using the GPI connector and RS-232C connector.

GPI connector

The items on the GPI screen correspond to the connector pins shown below. Functions can be allocated to these pins on the GPI screen of the main menu. (Refer to page 19)

The functions allocated to the pins are enabled when the corresponding pin is shorted (ON) to the GND pin and disabled when it is left open (OFF).

Level operation

* Concerning the operation conditions

Level operation: The function is operational while the pin to which it has been allocated is shorted to ground.

Edge operation: The function is operational when the pin to which it has been allocated changes from open to shorted to ground.

<Note>

If a function whose operation condition is triggered by the level has been allocated to a multiple number of pins, it will continue to be operational while any one of those pins is shorted.
