Virtual Inputs are required when a configuration calls for a simulated input - not a wired input. An example of this type of input would be a count button on the touch screen. This feature is only available on the PSM, TIM and PC Input Module. This article offers a brief overview of the functionality and setup. Please contact VersaCall Support if you have a need to add Virtual Inputs to your devices.

Overview
Virtual Inputs are required when a configuration calls for a simulated input - not a wired input. An example of this type of input would be a count button on the touch screen. This feature is only available on the PSM, TIM and PC Input Module. This article offers a brief overview of the functionality and setup. Please contact VersaCall Support if you have a need to add Virtual Inputs to your devices.



Basic Functionality
After selecting the Virtual Inputs tab, there will be Indicators setup or for a new module no Indicators will show. The toolbox of icons will have the same functionality.
