# 25/7 PDM - Delay Dump Control from VSet

## Scope

Using a Livewire GPIO from the VX to control a PDM "Dump" function from the VSet's "Delay #%!" button. This article does not include Hx6 or iQ6 systems.

## Description

The VSet's "Delay #%!" button does nothing more than control a GPIO output. Here, we show you how to set up a GPIO output in the VX Studio and how to send that output to the PDM for control.

## Set up GPIO output from VX

In the VX's web interface, go to the **Configuration > Studio** page of your choice and set the **Current Show** to **No Show** to allow changes.

Go to **GPIO Indications** and set up a new output:

Set the **Indication** to **Delay Dump,** enter a channel number, set **Pin** to a desired value, and **Type** to **To GPIO.**

> [!WARNING]
> We are using Livewire channel 4444 in this example. You'll want to choose a channel number that will never be loaded as a source to a console.

Apply Changes and reload the Show into the studio using the **Current Show** drop-down box.

## Set up GPIO input at 25/7 PDM

Navigate to the **Configuration** page of your PDM and enable **Livewire GPIO**

Enter the Livewire channel from the previous step into the **Port Address** field.

Set the desired input pin to **Dump** (pin 1 in this example)

Save your changes.
