Trigger GPI input. Used for normal, GPI button type; push the GPI button for it to
trigger play, pause, cue, and so forth. The GPI signal occurs only while
the button is held down, usually no more than a fraction of a second.
Level GPI input. Extended on/off. While on, the voltage (usually around 5
volts) will remain high. This is useful for channel-specific actions like
play (active) and stop (inactive), and can also be used for tally tally
restriction/reflection. The signal will stay active as long as the switch
allows the voltage signal to continue.
Toggle GPI output. Quick on/off. Seldom used with Command, this is designed
more for a toggle switch-type of workflow and not a button-type of
workflow. It will trigger an action each time the switch changes
position—up to down or down to up.
