PROGRAMMING THE VSSI-PRO

WILDCARD: The wildcard symbol “•”, a centered dot, excepts on any data in that position.

Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “EXCEPTION STRING” and press “Set”. The first position of the 20 character exception will become active by flashing. Program in your exception string.

NOTE "

Remember to enter your exception string based on the way the data prints to video, including spaces, and remember pressing “Set” advances to the next position. Pressing “Down” and “Up” at the same time enters the string into memory and returns to the menu for further programming.

TIP

If you make a mistake and need to erase a character, pressing “Up” and “Set” at the same time will change the character back to a blank space.

NEGATIVE EXCEPTIONS

You can remove unwanted text from the screen using your VSSI-Pro. The VSSI-Pro displays data in a text block 9 lines by 20 characters wide for a total of 180 characters. To remove unwanted messages from the register data you must first determine how the unwanted message prints to video, for example, a typical message which scrolls on the customer display or appears on the video monitor:

WELCOME TO BANK OF AMERICA.

To remove this message we will use a technique referred to as “negative exceptions”.

In the EXCEPTION REPORT sub-menu Exception 1 is defaulted to “NO SALE.” Go to Exception #2 (or the next available exception). Turn its DISPLAY off. Go to the exception string and enter the words “WELCOME TO BANK OF A ” exactly as they appeared on the screen, including spaces.

OPERATOR

Although “OPERATOR” comes after “RANGE” in the sub-menu sequence, we will discuss it first because the operator determines the behavior of the range. Think of the operator in mathematical terms. Setting the correct range and speci- fying “IN” or “OUT” will make the operator perform “greater than”, “less than”, “equal to”, ‘in the range”, or “out of the range” calculations.

With the VSSI-Pro you can define ranges for your exceptions and have the VSSI-Pro alarm when an exception falls within the range’s parameters or outside the range of the two numbers. The choices are: “IN”, “OUT”, and “NONE”.

The Operator, Range and Exception String allow you to define very specific parameters for your Exception Report. The possibilities are virtually endless.

DEFINING THE OPERATOR

To make your selection, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “OPERATOR” and press “Set”. The cursor will start flashing. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to toggle between “ON” or “OFF”. Make your selection and press “Set”. The cursor will stop flashing and you may continue to the next menu item.

RANGE

Choices : 0000.00-0000.00

The range defines the limits of the operator. These are numeric only. The range has two separate fields that are separated by a double-sided arrow. This format must be followed.
