Using UART Module (UART daughter board) with VSI-Pro
UART module is daughter board for special communication of the VSI-Pro. When the UART Module have been installed
into the J4 connector on the VSI-Pro Printed Circuit Board, the VSI-Pro can receive the special data format ; that is 7 data
bits and no parity.

UART Module
The VSI-Pro to automatically recognize the UART daughter board and enable the menu for Gilbarco Passport (XML
FMT). When the Gilbarco passport menu is selected, the VSI-Pro will check the UART Module. If VSI-Pro can commu-
nicate with the UART daughter board then the Gilbarco passport (XML FMT) sub menu will appear. If VSI-Pro cannot
communicate with the UART daughter board then this message will appear on the screen " UART DAUGHTER BOARD
NOT INSTALLED "
VSI-Pro VIDEO SERIAL INTERFACE
The VSI-Pro combine with the UART daughter board can interface a device have transmit the specific format data; that is
data bits is 7 bits and no parity. Access the Main Menu, select GENERIC or specific driver in the “REGISTER SELECT”
menu then exit to the Main Menu. Press the “Up” or “Down” buttons to move the cursor to “Communication” menu then
set a PARITY sub menu is NONE and set DATA BITS sub menu is 7. If VSI-Pro cannot communicate with the daughter
board, This message will appear on the screen." UART DAUGHTER BOARD NOT INSTALLED ".
