 Notes  
•
 
When “Action” is “Format,” these settings conflict
 
with the current settings, but after making the
 
settings, agreement is restored after a pulse change
 
or power off/on. 
•
 
When “Action” is “Bkgd A Side Flags” or “Bkgd B
 
Side Flags,” the levels are fixed, as follows. 
High level: Off
 
Low level: On 
 
To set the level for the format converter 
1 
Set “Action” to “Format” in step 
5 
of the procedure in
 
“Making Switcher Processor GPI Input Settings”
  
(
1 
p. 360).
 
The format converter list appears. 
2 
Select the format converter that you want to set from
 
the list.

Making Switcher Processor GPI
 
Output Settings 
The switcher port must be assigned before using the
 
following procedure 
(
1 
“Assigning a Parallel Output
 
Port” (p. 339)).
 
1

The GPI Output menu (7337.4) appears. 
2 
Select the setting to apply. 
3 
In the <Trigger Type> group, select the trigger type. 
(Rising Edge): The trigger causes the relay
 
contacts to be open-circuit or drives the output
 
high, and holds this state for the specified pulse
 
width. 
(Falling Edge): The trigger causes the relay
 
contacts to be shorted or drives the output low, and
 
holds this state for the specified pulse width. 
(Any Edge): Each time the trigger occurs, the
 
relay contacts are alternately closed or opened, or
 
the output is switched between high and low. 
Status: Depending on the status, the relay contacts are
 
closed or opened, or the output is switched
 
between high and low. 
No Operation: The trigger has no effect on the relay
 
state or output level.

Select the pulse width and timing to be set. 
 
 
 
Output timing 
a)
 
1: Field 1, 2: Field 2, 3: Any 
When “  ” is selected as the trigger polarity, there is
 
no Pulse Width setting. When “Status” is selected,
 
there is no Pulse Width or Timing setting. 
5 
In the <Source> group, select the action block. 
M/E-1 and P/P: Sets an action for the M/E or PGM/
 
PST bank. 
Common: Sets an action for error status.

7 
Press [Action Set] to confirm the action selection.
