 Test Digital I/O (Input/Output)
Test Digital I/O brings up the box below and can test communication with the I/O device attached to the COM port.
Test IO Outputs: Click an output relay number and the relay in the device should close (Turn ON) and the relay number lights up red.
Click the Reset Relays Button to open (Turn OFF) all of the relays.
If you click the Read Inputs Button you will see the Polling information in the box like the picture above-middle.
This indicates a good COM port, but no communication to a device.
If a serial I/O device is connected and communications are established you would see other information like the picture above-right.
A field of comma separated zeros and a big Zero to the right of the Stop Read Button indicates that no PIP relays are currently being pulsed.
The 1 in the picture above-right and the big 2 to the right of the Stop Read Button indicates that PIP 2 is being closed.
DJB Radio On Air will interpret that as Input 2 being triggered.
Send Command: You can type in a command to send to the I/O Device and click the Send Command Button.
If a serial I/O device is connected and communications are established the switcher will execute the command.
In the above-right picture, the command *1MA will tell Broadcast Tools device ID1 to Mute All.
