VSI-Pro VIDEO SERIAL INTERFACE
Figure 98: Remote Menu
Click the Tab “Remote” and you will see the following Menu.
Click on “Set Comport”. If the VSI-Pro is in the “Baudrate Detection” Mode then you can set any baud rate and the VSI-
Pro will self configure. However if the VSI-Pro is already set to a baud rate you must select the exact baud rate and
communication configuration in the VSI-Pro for connection to occur. If the unit does not display “Remote Connection”
then you have either entered the wrong baud rate or communication settings or a cable problem or the VSI-Pro not
powered.
Once connected then click “Remote” and will display “Accessed” or will go back to “No Access” if the baud rate or cable
connection is not proper and will also go back to “Not Connected” so you can reset the communication settings.
In another way, Click on “Set Comport” button, then Communication setting window will appear. Select the “ComPort” of
a Laptop or PC that connected to the DB-9 of VSI-Pro via communication cable, then click on the “Baudrate Scan”
button. The VSI-Pro PC Software will search the baud rate of VSI-Pro automatically. If the unit does not display “Remote
Connection” then you have either a cable problem or the VSI-Pro not powered.
PROGRAMMING
Once you have “Access” then you can do any function on this menu screen. “Upload” data which reads the current
settings of the VSI-Pro into the PC. “Download” which sends the PC settings to the VSI-Pro. “Set Time” can set a new
time or PC sync time to the VSI-Pro. “Load History” reads the History File of Exceptions from the VSI-Pro and saves as
a text file on the PC.
Note: If the cable is disconnected, VSI-Pro reset or powered down, PC program closed, the PC and/or the VSI-Pro has
a 30 second timeout and will reset itself for normal operation.
