Port Status
Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list showing the status for the camera’s input and output. This is for the benefit of Operators, who have no access to the System Options section.
Example: If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Open circuit - as long as the button is not pushed, the state is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.
