VM700A Option 01 (NTSC) & Option 11 (PAL) User Manual
To Remove an Event From a Timed Events File. Touch the icon of the file to
display it for editing, if it is not displayed already; turn the knob to highlight the
line you wish to delete; press the Delete Line soft key.
To Edit an Event in a Timed Events File. Touch the icon of the file to display it for
editing, if it is not displayed already.
Turn the knob to highlight the line you wish to edit.
Touch the item (time, channel, type, or file name) on the line you wish to
edit.
Turn the knob until the desired value appears.
Press the Accept Input soft key or touch the screen anywhere within the
window.
You can enter a time of “Undefined” for an event by pressing the Enter
undefined soft key when the event’s time field is highlighted. An event with a
time of “undefined” is ignored. This function is handy when you want to skip an
event temporarily, but don’t want to re-enter its associated values later.
To Create a Function for Timed Execution. Press the Configure button; press the
Function Keys soft key; press the Timed~Functions icon; press the Create
Function soft key; give the new function a name using the on-screen keyboard
(press Done when you have finished entering the name).
From this point, you can define a timed function. The steps for defining a timed
function are found in the VM700A Programmer’s Reference Manual. Basically,
creating a function is a learn mode operation that records into the named file, all
the front-panel button presses, soft key presses, and delay times used to create
the function. Once created, the Function Key file is then available for playback.
To Cancel a Timed Report in Progress. Press the Cancel Report soft key.
To Cancel a Timed Function Execution in Progress. Press the Function button. This
leaves the VM700A in whatever state it was in during function execution when
you pressed the button.
