Instruction manual

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.
