MIDI Echo and Footswitch Toggle parameters are selectable On/Off.
The Polarity of each input can be determined automatically on power-up, or programmed to be normally open or normally closed. It's also possible for the F8 to send out the state of its footswitch immediately on power-up rather than waiting for it to be depressed.
The F8 is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages. This is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is removed. The F8 can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.
The F8 is MIDI powered and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most MIDI products. A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.

Triggered event types are programmable and include:

Note
Control Change (CC)
Pitch bend
Program Change
Start/stop
System Exclusive (SysEx)

Other functions include:

Program Change increse/decrease
Rechannel
Transpose

[MIDI Power] I've purchased many on-stage products. This is by far one of the best. It's a well thought=out stand. It's built to last and very versatile. The top adjustable slides are a real bonus and one of kind. The height adjustment makes this unit useful with other stands of all heights. The smart design of this stand is near genius. I immediately purchased a second one before this unit triples in price and it will as more and more users discover it. 5

[MIDI Power] Awesome product. I will probably add on to the system since I have the possibility now. The ability to turn it on with or without the recording system is a great feature. 5

[1x Power LED] We could not be happier with our Presonus audio interface. B&H delivered it quickly and packaged nicely. We did not have any issues when we opened the packaging. Everything was how it was described Amd worked great! Our setup is completely purchased from B&H and has consistent quality. Regards, Kme Films & Entertainment LLC 5

[MIDI Power] I have owned many Presonus interfaces and the 1824c is as solid, well designed, and high quality as any I have owned. Amazing value. 8 channels of input (2 either line or mic) out of the box - perfect for recording drums. 5
