/ 12hr Ignition On/Off status detectable by SW If the ignition is off and the system is still on after 5 minutes, VBOX-3200 will shut down automatically. If the ignition is turned on again and the power-off delay is in progress, VBOX-3200 will cancel the delay function and will continue to operate normally.
5.0 System Resource GPIO & Delay Time Setting 5.2.1 GPIO, Delay Time and Ignition Control Register The General Purpose I/O is an interface available on some devices. These can read digital signals from other parts of a circuit, or output to control other devices. At GPIO control register, the GPI is use to receive data, the GPO is set data to send.
