• Reply to Host
The Reply to Host action allows the user to specify a data stream that will
transmit to the host when the selected event takes place and to select the
interface that should be used for this data transmission. Data entry can be
in ASCII or in hexadecimal. The entry mode can be selected with the
arrow keys: up arrow for ASCII entry mode and down arrow for Hex entry
mode. See Figure 202.

• Wait
The parameter for this action specifies the time in 1/1000 seconds that
GPIO will wait until the next action executes.
• PAA Control: CST Reset
This action resets the Use Once flags of the currently active PAA CST.

This action allows you to select one out of 64 mapping tables on a given
event. If only a single mapping table has been defined, this selection is
not available. The mapping table is selected by its name or by selecting

or CPU). See “Timers” on page 254.

and Blink, and Timer is only available with the advanced GPIO
