CAPTURE PORT 1 TO PORT 1
This feature redirects the incoming data of the VSI-Pro Max Register Port or Port 1 to its output ( Pin 3 of AT type RS-232
female connector ) where that data can be stored to a data storing device (e.g. PC). This feature is useful to store non-
RS 232 format data. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “CAPTURE TO PORT 1 and press “Set”. The
following display will appear (example only):

CAPTURE PORT 1, 2 TO PORT 1
This feature redirects the incoming data of the VSI-Pro Max Register Port or Port 1 and the Network Port or Port 2 to the
Register Port output ( Pin 3 of AT type RS-232 female connector ) where that data can be stored to a data storing device
(e.g. PC). The baud rate, parity, data bits and handshaking is set the same for both ports. The Output baud rate can be
different depending on the requirements of your data receiving device. The two input data streams are combined to one
file in the OM1 format. This format can be read by the ComScope software but mainly is used internally by AVE to
develop drivers for bi-directional data communications for handshaking from various POS devices.
Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “CAPTURE TO PORT 1,2 to PORT 1 and press “Set”. The following
display will appear (example only):
RX BAUDRATE : AUTO
TX BAUDRATE : 2400

Multiprocessor Data Dump Mode
The VSI-Pro Max has the ability to read high speed Interprocessor or Multiprocessor serial communications. This
uses a fixed 9 bit protocol and can have speeds up to 384K baud used in many IRC or printers of POS systems.
Since the VSI-Pro Max ignores the parity in the data dump mode this multiprocessor data can be read as RS-232
input from Port 1 Pin 2 or RS485/RS422 input from Pin 4/6and output Port 1 Pin 3 as RS-232. Select the appropriate
“Type” either RS-232 or RS-485 in “Register Settings” under the “Communications” Menu and the appropriate baud
rate. However you must select Parity as ODD, and Data Bits as 8. You can save to Memory or output Port 1 Pin 3
with the same baud, parity and bits as selected for the receiving data. The VSI-Pro Max only supports baud rates up
to 115Kbs so if higher speeds are desired we have special versions that support up to 384K so contact the factory if
this is required.
