Operation
2.1. General
The basic operations consist of starting up "VGBase," creating and editing data, sending the data to and receiving it
from the VG, and storing the created data in the memory. The layout data used by "VGBase" is grouped together in sets,
and the data, data numbers, codes, etc. sent to the VG are retained in the memory. (For details on how to create and
edit the sets of data, refer to the help sections in the editing programs concerned.)
*Each setting screen is a thing at the time of VG-848 connection. Setting
screens may differ at the time of connection with other VG(s).
2.2. Starting up VGBase
Procedure for starting up "VGBase"
(1) Select [Start]
→
[Programs]
→
[SP-8848]
→
[VGBase].
*When connecting with VG-848, 849, 835, 859 and 830, SP reads the version number of
VG when SP starts. If the version is before 2.00, the message appears.
When message appears, upgrade the firmware of VG first.
(2) The "Select VG Type" dialog box for setting the VG type now appears. Select the VG Type from the options given in
the [Type] combo box, and click the [OK] button. (Once the VG Type is selected, the selection is stored in the memory,
and the dialog box will no longer be displayed when the software program is next started up.) Before the "Select VG
Type" dialog box appears, a "Warning" message (Com Port Open Error) may be displayed. This means that
communication with the VG has not been established: after starting up "VGBase," perform the configuration settings.
(See "Configuration settings" in Section 3-3.)
