DUMP MEMORY

You can upload any saved information from the VSI-Pro memory to any PC or some specific communication devices using appropriate upload cable. To upload the information into a PC you must have any communication software which can transfer the binary data. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “DUMP MEMORY” and press “Set”. The VSI-Pro will start uploading the data.

REGISTER DEMO

This demonstration simulates transaction data from a register. This is used to demonstrate the VSI-Pro’s capabilities with just a monitor and camera without having a register hooked up. When the demo mode is active the VSI-Pro thinks the data is actually coming from a real register. You can use this demo data to configure exceptions and alarms to be fully functional for a complete customer demonstration.

Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “REGISTER DEMO” and press “Set”. You will see the following;

DEMO ON POWER UP OFF

EXIT

Selecting “DEMO” will give you two options of 19 or 37 characters per line. After selection the demo will start after a few seconds. To exit this demo, press and release “Reset”. If data is sent to the VSI-Pro during this demo mode with “DEMO ON POWER UP” set to OFF then the demo mode will be disabled and you must go back into the programming mode and select again as described above.

If you select “DEMO ON POWER UP” as “ON” then pressing the “Reset” or powering up or down will have no effect on the demo mode and will continuously work until disabled by this menu selection. If you connec the VSI-Pro to a cash register and it sends data to the VSI-Pro during this demo mode then the demo mode will also be disabled until you press “Reset” or power down and up again.

5.10 DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD SETUP

This feature lets you upload or download data between two VSI-Pro’s or a VSI-Pro and a PC. This feature is especially helpful on multi-interface installations. You can program one VSI-Pro and download the data to another VSI-Pro with the download/upload feature and a data transfer cable. The cable is made up of two male DB-9 connectors and the pin-out is below. NOTE: This feature is only available to like versions and release. Therefore you can only program a Ver. 13.00 R5 with a same exact VSI-Pro or errorenous data will occur.
