Multiple Actions

If required, GPIO can execute a number of actions on a single event. Multiple
actions specified for a single event will be executed in the order they are
entered in the mapping table.
Figure 189 shows a mapping table where the first action is to enable GPIO
events by making the Input Opto-coupler event active. The second action is to
disable GPIO events by making the Input Opto-coupler event inactive. The
third action is to perform a form feed. Since the GPIO Configuration Manager
performs mappings in sequence, this program will not produce a clean sheet
because the Form Feed action follows the GPIO disable command. A form
feed cannot happen when all GPIO events are disabled first.
Figure 189. Incorrect Setup of Multiple Actions
Figure 190 shows a correct mapping table; a form feed is executed before the
actual disabling of GPIO.

To change the sequence in which the entries appear in the table, click and
drag the entry to a different location in the table.
