VSI-Pro Max POS / Cash Register Interface
5.9 TEST/DEMO MODE
The TEST/DEMO MODE provides you with several ways to test the VSI-Pro Max and demonstrate its capabilities as a
cash register interface. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “TEST/DEMO MODE” and press “Set”.
The following sub-menu will appear:
Figure 167: TEST/DEMO MODE Sub-Menu
VIDEO LOSS
Choices: Manual, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 1M
Video Loss allows the VSI-Pro Max to generate an alarm condition when low or lost video occurs. When set for manual
the alarm follows the state of the video loss, when set for 1s-1M this means the video must be lost continuously for that
period of time before an alarm is triggered. The alarm mode is a timed mode so once the video loss alarm is triggered the
alarm time out must expire and get another video loss to retrigger the alarm. Video Loss is “OR” with the Alarm Trigger
so if either one occurs will trigger the appropriate alarm for all the setups for that Alarm number.
