To set a digital output notification:

  1. On the System tab, select Watchdog settings.

  2. Select a server from the VMS Server drop-down list. As digital output signals are server-specific, you cannot select All VMS Servers.

  3. Click on an event.

  4. Select the digital output channel you want to use from the In Use drop-down menu.

  5. If you want to send a pulse signal to the output channel, mark the Pulse checkbox and select the pulse length with the slider.
