GPICommander is a USB-to-GPI converter featuring:
- 24 inputs (open-collector type, common ground)
- 8 independent relay outputs
- Multi-device support: Each unit has a unique serial ID, allowing you to use multiple devices to expand input/output capabilities.
GPI Triggering & Software Integration
GPI triggers can be received and saved natively in some Softron applications, such as OnTheAir Video or MovieRecorder. Additionally, you can use the free GPICommander application, which supports AppleScripts, allowing interaction with any macOS application that supports AppleScript. It enables you to:
- Send AppleScript to the GPICommander application to tell it to trigger a GPI output.
- The GPICommander application will execute a specific AppleScript when a GPI input is received.
Third-Party Integration
For third-party developers who wish to create their own software for GPICommander, an SDK is available for macOS, Linux and Windows.
- Allows direct control without AppleScript.
- Supports Windows, enabling control via C code.
WARNING:
There are multiple versions of the GPICommander box. Before ordering, please ensure that your Softron software is compatible with the version you are purchasing.
If you are using a third-party application, check with the provider to confirm which version of the GPICommander box they support.
