The Z-Cude input on the PVIA1, or any PVIA for that matter, is a System Port trigger input. On the VIA Tools “Trigger” screen, you can program a macro in System Port On trigger and a different macro on the System Port Off trigger. These macros will be executed when the system trigger is applied and removed.

The System Port trigger is only active with a Z-630 or stand-alone system, not a HD system.

The Local Port trigger is the same as the System Port trigger except that it is on the Local RJ-49 jack and is active for all systems types.

Basically, these triggers are active when a ground is applied to pin one of the System or Local RJ-49 jack. Each trigger is independent from the other.

You can use these trigger for almost anything you can think of. For example, you can put a pressure sensor on a chair. When your customer sits down, the “On” trigger macro can be program to turn on his system. When he gets up, the “Off” trigger macro can be programmed to turn off his system.

This is just one on an indefinite number of uses for these triggers. I’m sure others can post other examples.

The Z-Cube input on the VIA Touch Panel is different than in the Z-Pad.
