PROGRAMMING TX Baud Rate Choices: 28.8K AUTO, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14.4K, 19.2K, This feature allows you to set the transmit baud rate to a separate device of a different baud rate than the connection to the cash register. When the register input baud rate is much higher than the output baud rate the VSI-Pro internal 28K buffer will hold the data until the printer is ready.
PROGRAMMING Hand Shake Choices ON, OFF Handshaking is an electrical signal that tells the Cash Register or Computer that the VSI-Pro is ready to receive data. This signal is called “CTS” or Clear to Send. When the VSI-Pro asserts this signal the transmitting device should not send more data. It is not be necessary to connect this signal from the Cash Register or Computer since the VSI-Pro does not require Handshaking and contains a very large 28K data buffer.
PROGRAMMING Exception Report Overview The Exception Report gives you the option to assign an on-screen flag, trigger an alarming device, or send data to another serial device on any questionable transaction that you have preprogrammed into the VSI-Pro. The VSI-Pro will allow programming of up to 24 separate exceptions.
PROGRAMMING Hard Alarm Output The VSI-Pro allows you to program exceptions to trigger external alarming devices such as Time-Lapse VCR’s, Quads, Enunciators, LED’s etc. Using the Alarm Output you can have your time-lapse VCR record only exceptions, or have an alarming Quad go to full screen on an exception, or even trigger a buzzer to alert you that an exception has occurred. PRINTER OUTPUT There may be situations where you do not want cashiers or other employees to know what triggers an exception.
PROGRAMMING Programming Your Exception Report From the main programming menu, place the arrow in front of “EXCEPTION REPORT” and press and release “SET”. This will take you to the Exception Reports' menu, which is shown in Figure 9. EXCEPTION HISTORY SET EXCEPTION OUTPUT ON TIME STAMP O F F EXIT Figure 9: Exception Report Sub Menu Exception History Selecting this item displays the following submenu as appeared in Figure 10.
PROGRAMMING on the screen, starting with the oldest exception in the buffer. Once in the exception displaying screen, pressing DOWN or UP keys scrolls to next screen. Press the SET button to return to main menu. Select OUTPUT EXCEPTIONS to have the buffered exceptions sent out for printing. Select CLEAR HISTORY to clear all the buffered exceptions and reset the TOTAL EXCEPTIONS Counter. Selecting ''EXIT' brings you back to the Exception Report main menu.
PROGRAMMING sequence through the choices. Make your selection and press and release “SET”. The arrow will stop flashing and you may continue to the next menu item. NOTE: Two Exception strings 23 and 24 are pre-programmed for beginning and ending transaction with DISPLAY OFF.
PROGRAMMING Output 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.
PROGRAMMING For example in Samaung ER-4715 register an assign Exception string “..” will flag all Void, Refund, Merchandise Return and Paid out to the monitor. You can also use wild card symbol “.” a centered dot on any data location. Example of this would be instead of assigning eight different exception string for dept 00 to dept07 you can assign only one exception string e.g. “dept . .”. That wild card exception string will handle exception for all eight departments.
PROGRAMMING the display off for that exception. In the Exception Strings enter the words “ WELCOME TO XYZ SUPER ”. Exactly as they appears on the screen, including spaces. ( Note: Only 20 characters are allowed in each exception string, including blank spaces ). OPERATOR The “OPERATOR” determines the behavior of the “RANGE”. Think of the OPERATOR in mathematical terms.
PROGRAMMING this character, use the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons to move between 0-9. To move to the next block, press and release the “SET” button. This will advance the active block to the next block immediately to the left . This is how you move through the “RANGE” field. While you are on an active block, pressing the “UP” and “SET” buttons simultaneously will return that block back to a blank, which is designated by a solid white box. You can follow this format to program your “RANGE”.
PROGRAMMING To turn Time Stamp “ON” or “OFF”, place the arrow cursor in front of Time Stamp and press and release “SET” button. After selecting a choice again press and release “SET” button , arrow will stop blinking and ready for your next command. Exit Place the cursor in front of Exit and press and release set button to exit out of Exceptions Report sub menu. Examples for Setting Exception EQUAL Suppose Exception #2 would be flag all $10 sales on Register Department 1.
PROGRAMMING In Range Suppose Exception #5 would flag all transactions between $50.00 & $100.00 on Department 3: Exception No. 3 Display O N Output ON or OFF (Depending on presence of serial printer). Exception String 3 ... Range 0049.99<->0099.99 Operator IN With this exception all sales between $50 and $100 dollars will be flagged. GREATER THAN This example will show you how to program an exception to flag all sales in department 5 greater than $100 dollars Exception No.
PROGRAMMING 4.3.6 ALARM OUTPUTS To access alarm output, place the arrow in front of “ALARM OUTPUTS” and press and release “SET”. You will be presented with the following sub-menu shown in Figure 12. ALARM NO. ALARM TRIG NORMAL STATE ALM DURATION FLAG TYPE FLAG DURATION RTS TRIGGERED TEXT EXIT Figure 12: Sub menu for Alarm Output The ALARM OUTPUTS menu controls not only the formatting of the external alarms, but also the formatting of the on-screen flags assigned to individual exceptions.
PROGRAMMING ALARM TRIG An ALARM TRIGGER is the source of activity programmed to activate a certain alarm. The Alarm Trigger tells the VSI-Pro what exception to use to trigger the alarming device or the on-screen flag. The choices are: Exceptions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, & 24: (alarms when data is received that matches what you have set in these exception strings). Exceptions 1-12: set in Exception alarms 1-12.
PROGRAMMING NORMAL STATE There are two choices: NO (normally open) or NC (normal closed). These selections determine whether the alarm outputs will act as a normally open switch or a normally closed switch. To select the Normal State that you want to program, place the arrow in front of “NORMAL STATE” and press and release “SET”. The arrow will start flashing . By using the “DOWN” & “UP” buttons, toggle through and make your selection.
PROGRAMMING To make your selection place the arrow in front of “ FLAG TYPE” and press and release “SET”. The arrow will start flashing . By using the “DOWN” or “UP” buttons, toggle between the choices and make your selection.
PROGRAMMING Each Triggered Text can contain up to 40 printable ASCII data. If nonprintable data (control code) is included, each control code occupies 3 printable spaces. Therefore, only 13 control codes maximum can be programmed in one Triggered Text. To program the TRIGGERED TEXT, go to the ALARM OUTPUTS sub-menu. Select desired ALARM NO or RTS for external alarm. Then go to the TRIGGERED TEXT sub-menu this is same as what appeared in figure 13.
PROGRAMMING Set Triggered Text Place the arrow in front of Set Triggered Text and press and release “SET” button. You can enter 2 lines with 20 alpha numeric text on each line. To set the trigger text to output a “Control Character” you must first program the up-arrow “#“, and then two digits for the HEX code value. e.g. tp put ^A (HEX code 01H), program in #01. Press “UP” and “DOWN” at the same time to exit out of Set triggered text . This will save the trigger text to memory.
PROGRAMMING RECEIVE (RX) TEST TRANSMIT (TX) TEST RX/TX TEST BAUD RATE SCAN EXIT Figure 14: Port test 1 sub menu RECEIVE (RX) TEST The purpose of this test is to determine that if VSI-Pro receiving the data or not. To test that move the cursor in front of “RECEIVE (RX) TEST” Receiving data will be appear in three sperate lines, scrolling from right to left. First line is the actual ASCII data coming from the register while last two lines are HEX conversion of ASCII data.
PROGRAMMING RX/ TX TEST In the RX/ TX test VSI-Pro echo whatever it receives. To proceed with test, place the arrow in front of “RX/TX TEST” and press and release SET. Baud Rate Scan Baud Rate scan test can scan the baud rate of your register. To proceed with the test, place the arrow in front of baud rate scan and press and release “SET” button. Enter a transaction from the register, VSI-Pro will detect the baud rate and display it in front of RX Baud rate.

Check that the board is seated properly in the register. 2. Check jumper settings on the CR board if applicable. 3.
PROBLEM SOLVING GUIDE Characters Jitter, Jump or Skew Note: The VSI requires 1V p-p +/- 20 percent, terminated @ 75 ohms. 1. Darken the gray scale of the characters. 2. Video Input level less than 1VP-P - use an amplifier to get the proper level. 3. Poor input sync signals - too many AC coupled amplifiers in the video input signal. 4. Noisy or poor quality video sourceReplace with better source. 5. Check for double termination. 6. Video level too high; VSI-Pro will clip video. 7.
PROBLEM SOLVING GUIDE My customer is changing registers; will the VSI they have work on the new register? This is a tricky one. We interface to over 400 different registers and as a result, there are several versions of software needed to work with all these different systems. The probability the VSI will work with a new system is relatively high, specially if its Version 11 based.
