Operator Library: Hardware Platform
The operator GPO provides an interface to the digital outputs. Via parameter Pin_ID, you select the digital output (which is wired to a physical pin on a GPIO unit) you want to use for sending a signal.
For all platforms except the imaFlex CXP-12 Quad platform: If you use a frame grabber with two GPIO units, use parameter ConnectorType to select the GPIO unit you want to address (GPIO or Front GPIO). On the imaFlex CXP-12 Quad platform, the parameter ConnectorType is not available.
Each digital output can only be used once. Thus, the selected digital output is to be used by exclusively one instance of the GPO operator.
For each digital output, one device resource of type TriggerOut is used. See Appendix. Device Resources for a full list of device resources.
For the mapping of digital outputs and physical pins on the GPIO units, check User Manual of your frame grabber.

Via parameter PinID, you define the digital output (which is wired to a physical pin on a GPIO socket) you want to use for sending a signal. The same digital output can be used only once, i.e., by one instance of the GPO operator. FrontGpoN represents the GPO for the Front GPIO connector. ExtensionGpoN represents the GPO for Extension GPIO side connector.

Via parameter Pin_ID, you define the digital ouput (which is wired to a physical pin on the GPIO or FrontGPIO socket) you want to use for sending a signal. The same digital output can be used only once, i.e., by one instance of the GPO operator. [0;7] When you address the GPIO on marathon, or if you use a device with only one GPIO unit (ironman, PixelPlant), the value range is 0 - 7. [0;3] When you address the GPIO on LightBridge, the value range is 0-3. [0;1] When you address the Front GPIO on marathon or LightBridge, the value range is 0-1.

Via parameter ConnectorType, you define which GPIO socket (GPIO or Front GPIO) you want to address with the value you enter for parameter Pin_ID.
