When ready to begin final setup of sequence-output programs, use the
worksheets in Appendix H (See Page 117.) to plan the exact codes to be
entered. Planning will make this process faster and easier. Also, use the same
worksheets to keep a permanent written record of seuqnce-output
programming.
Setting Up Auto-Logging Functions
If your VRC2000 is equipped with a Data Interface, the system can be set up
to automatically dial an outbound telephone number (or key on a two-way
radio system), turn on the Data Interface, and transmit all metering and
status-channel readings and the current state of the command channels to an
attached PC running Setup VRC2000 software in terminal mode, or VRC-
Win software. The system can be programmed to auto-log at regular
intervals ranging from every 15 minutes to once a day.
Refer to the Data Interface Installation and Operations Manual, Setup
VRC2000 Installation and Operations Manual, and/or VRC-Win Installation
and Operations Manual for more information about auto-logging.
The VRC2000 programming steps to set-up auto-logging are simple. Read
this section and experiment with setting up auto-logging a few times before
deciding on the final VRC2000 programming.
First, access the default set-up information for the auto-logging function.
For each parameter, the VRC2000 will respond with a preprogrammed
message, followed by the default parameter (in braces { }), followed by a
[BEEP]. Any default parameter can be changed when setting up the
VRC2000.
You enter
☎ “0 2 0 #”
The VRC2000 will respond:
• TIME-OF-DAY HOURS FOR LOGGING START TIME ARE ... {TWELVE} ... [BEEP]
• TIME-OF-DAY MINUTES FOR LOGGING START TIME ARE ... {ZERO} ... [BEEP]
• TIME OF DAY FOR LOGGING START IS ... {AM} ... [BEEP]
• TIME-OF-DAY HOURS FOR LOGGING STOP TIME ARE ... {TWELVE} ... [BEEP]
• TIME-OF-DAY MINUTES FOR LOGGING STOP TIME ARE ... {ZERO} ... [BEEP]
• TIME OF DAY FOR LOGGING STOP IS ... {AM} ... [BEEP]
• LOGGING REPEAT TIME HOURS ARE ... {ZERO} ... [BEEP]
• LOGGING REPEAT TIME MINUTES ARE ... {FIFTEEN} ... [BEEP]
To change the auto-logging function, you must be the set-up mode, then
enter “0 2 0 #” access code, followed by the code numbers to be programmed
for the auto-logging function. Two digits must be entered for any time
entries required for the auto-logging function. Enter the “*” symbol to
indicate AM (before noon); the “#” indicates PM (after noon).
AUTO-LOGGING NOTE:
The VRC2000 will auto-log only to the first outbound telephone number set up to
use phone modem or radio modem output configuration. If using the auto-
logging function, Gentner Communications recommends programming outbound
telephone number 1 in either phone modem or radio modem output configuration
to force the VRC2000 to use this number for auto-logging. Doing so also
