VT3000 Virtual Inputs
Virtual Inputs
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.
