Decoding and Logging
While decoding a transmitter (see Decode Transmitters section), the logging of data can be turned
on or off with the keypad by pressing the LOG key (‘+’ key then DECODE key).
A visual indication in the upper right hand corner of the display appears when data logging is
enabled, and flashes when data is stored to memory. When the indicator appears like a boxy “U”
then the memory is empty. As the data storage memory fills, this indicator gradually becomes a
solid block and will then become an asterisk (*) to indicate that the memory is full. The memory
position ranges from 0 (memory empty) to 262144 (memory full). The memory counter is in the
format x;y where x is the page (0,1,2 or 3) and y is the counter for each page (0 to 65535). The
exact amount of memory that has been used can be checked by pressing the NEXT key. For
example, the display shown below indicates that data is being decoded from transmitter TR# 10, the
memory position is 10787 on page zero, and the time is 11:32:10 of the 15th day.
TR# 10 0,10787
TIME 15:11:32:10
If an asterisk (*) has replaced the block, pressing the NEXT key will show either
TR# xx 3,65535
MEMORY FULL
which indicates the memory is full and no more data will be stored, or
TR# xx yyy
Mem write ERROR
which indicates that there is a problem with the data storage memory. If a memory error occurs,
record the memory location yyy and contact VEMCO.
