8:Configurable Pin Manager
The Configurable Pin Manager is responsible for assignment and control of the configurable pins (CPs) available on the XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device service. There are three configurable pins on the XPort Pro Lx6.
You must configure the CPs by making them part of a group. A CP Group may consist of one or more CPs. This increases flexibility when incorporating the XPort Pro Lx6 into another system.

CPM: Configurable Pins
Each CP is associated with an external hardware pin. CPs can trigger an outside event, like sending an email message or starting Command Mode on a serial Line.
The Current Configuration table shows the current settings for each CP.

CPM – CPs Status | Description |
Name | Shows the CP number. |
|
|
State | Shows the current enable state of the CP. |
|
|
Type | Shows the CP hardware pin type. Can be updated. Choices are: |
| Input |
| Output |
| When a CP is configured as output, it can be toggled by setting the value. |
| Whatever value is given, the first bit 0 is used as the setting. 1 means asserted |
| and 0 means |
| assertion is low. |
|
|
Value | Shows the last bit in the CP current value. |
|
|
Bit | Visual display of the bitwise 32 bit placeholders for a CP. |
|
|
Level | A “+” symbol indicates the CP is asserted (the voltage is high). A |
| CP voltage is low. |
I/O | Indicates the current status of the pin: |
| I = input |
| O = output |
| <blank> = unassigned |
|
|
Logic | An “I” indicates the CP is inverted (active low). |
