OUTPUT
Choices: ON, OFF
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. The serial devices must have the same Baud Rate, Parity, and Data Bits as
the VSI-Pro for optimum performance of data transfer.
To make your selection, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “OUTPUT” and press “Set”. Press the
“Up” or “Down” button to toggle between “ON” or “OFF”. Make your selection and press “Set”. The cursor will stop
flashing and you may continue to the next menu item.
