General Purpose Interface (GPI) (DB-9F)*


This DB9-female connector serves as a four-input, optoisolated interface to the Omnia's internal GPI functions. Four
of the pins are “ground-sink” inputs, one is a bias voltage input, one is a +5V power output, and the remaining three
are “ground.” The inputs can be used to dynamically alter the Omnia.ONE’s operation in response to logic
transitions on the interface connection.

Full details, including connector pinout, are covered in Appendix D, starting on
