Chapter 7
To use the GPI connectors:
To trigger a project through a GPI connection:
If you are triggering the project through the GPI 1 connector, enter the project name in
the corresponding Project text box—likewise, if you are using the GPI 2 connector, use
that Project text box. If you are using both GPI connectors, enter the project names in the
corresponding Project text boxes.
When the GPI signal arrives at the specified GPI connection, PowerScript locates and
plays the first page in the project. If PowerScript cannot locate a project with the speci-
fied name, it automatically performs a page trigger—which is explained in a later section.
