EXCEPTION NO.

Choices: 1 through 24

To select the Exception No. that you wish to program, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “EXCEP- TION NO.” and press “Set”. The cursor will start flashing. Use the “Up” & “Down” button to sequence through the choices. Make your selection and press “Set”. The cursor will stop flashing and you may continue to the next menu item.

DISPLAY

Choices: ON, OFF

The DISPLAY item lets you control whether or not this particular exception is displayed on the video monitor. Please understand that if you are not using a remote serial printer and if you do not turn on the Exceptions display here, you will not have the on-screen flag and consequently no record of the exception when it occurs.

To make your selection, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “DISPLAY” 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.

APPLICATION NOTE

If the display of the Exception is turned off here, the exception data will actually be erased from the screen. This feature can be used to generate what we refer to as “Negative Exceptions”, allowing the removal of unwanted text from the screen. See “Negative Exceptions” that follows.

OUTPUT

Choices: ON, OFF

The OUTPUT controls the RS-232 data from the VSI-Pro. Typically this is sent to a remote Serial Printer to provide a hard copy of Exceptions with time and date on it. This data can also be sent out to a computer with appropriate software and give you the ability to analyze data. You could also use an auto answer modem and have the data sent to a central office or even to your home. The serial devices must have the same Baud Rate, Parity, and Data Bits as the VSI-Pro for optimum performance of data transfer.

To make your selection, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “OUTPUT” and press “Set”. 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.
