Configuring the GPI Service
You need to configure the GPI Service to work with the GPI devices in your iTX system. To do
this, you use the GPI Service Configuration application:
The application is installed with the GPI Devices module.
In configuring the GPI Service, you:
• Add a driver to the GPI Service for each GPI device the service is to control; each driver
acts as a separate service, with a unique name, within the GPI Service.
• Enter the settings for each driver; these include the network-connection details of the
associated GPI device.
• Assign names to the various input and output triggers for each GPI device.
Start the GPI Service Configuration application
1. On the machine on which you install the GPI Devices module, select GPI Service Config
from the Windows Start menu.
The GPI Service Configuration window opens.
