4. Functionality
The Opt Ignition function operates as an intelligent intermediary between the external ignition signal and the Nuvo-3000 system’s internal power control circuitry. When the ignition signal is turned on (e.g., vehicle key turned to ACC or ON position), the Opt Ignition function initiates a controlled power-on sequence after a user-defined delay. This ensures that the system only powers up once stable voltage is available, avoiding brownout conditions during engine cranking or power fluctuations.

When the ignition signal is turned off, the Opt Ignition function triggers a controlled shutdown sequence. The system remains powered for a configurable delay period, allowing the operating system to complete data writes, close applications, and safely power down. This prevents data corruption and ensures system integrity.

Use Cases and Applications:
- In-Vehicle Computing: Automotive PCs, fleet management systems, and mobile DVRs that require ignition-synchronized operation.
- Public Transportation Systems: Bus, train, and tram control units that must power on/off with vehicle ignition cycles.
- Industrial Machinery: Equipment controllers that need coordinated power sequencing with machine start/stop signals.
- Surveillance and Security Systems: Mobile or remote monitoring systems powered by vehicle or generator ignition sources.
- Field Data Acquisition: Portable or mobile data logging systems requiring controlled power management.

Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Nuvo-3000 TB, E, P, and PoE series embedded computers.
- Works with standard automotive ignition signals (12V/24V DC).
- May be configured via BIOS or dedicated software utilities provided by the manufacturer.
