The PinPoint X has special features for use in a mobile
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.

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.
