Campbell Scientific VS1 Telephone Modem with Voice Synthesizer - Manual (Page 9)

VS1 AND VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR

For example, if the number of your datalogger is
"555-4321" you would need to make the
following additions: "555-4321,,,*9".
The commas add delays so the VS1 has time to
recognize the "*9". The "*9" disables the voice
synthesizer and sets the VS1 to operate as a
standard 1200 baud modem. By inserting extra
commas into the phone number string, you can
usually correct communication problems with
the VS1. This is particularly true if the call is
long distance.
6. DOWNLOADING AND COMMUNICATING
WITH THE VS1
Let's take a brief tour through the VS1. The VS1
Voice Synthesizer will allow you to monitor
preconfigured input locations in the datalogger
as well as check or manipulate flags and ports.
For this example you will need to have the
datalogger attached to the VS1 and all phone
lines connected.
Using GRAPHTERM or TERM, download
EXMPL1.DLD to the datalogger. Make sure the
datalogger is connected to the VS1. Quit
GRAPHTERM or TERM after downloading
EXMPL1.DLD.
NOTE: The datalogger does not need to be
connected to the VS1 to download a
program to it. You can download your
program via an SC32A interface, or a
storage module, to the datalogger and then
connect it up with the VS1.
6.1. INPUT LOCATIONS
Using a standard touch-tone phone, call up the
datalogger. After connecting you should hear:
Campbell Scientific datalogger program.
Datalogger internal temperature is (some value)
degrees Fahrenheit.
Press "1" for input locations.
Press "2" for ports.
Press "3" for flags.
Press "pound" to hear menu again.
Press "star" to disconnect.
The first two lines of the spoken message are
called the "Initial Message". This message is
created by the user using the VS1 Voice
Synthesizer Editor. Pressing the "#" symbol on
the telephone keypad will cause the VS1 to
repeat what is listed above. Pressing the "*"
symbol will cause the VS1 to say "goodbye" and
disconnect the phone.
For right now let's only look at the input
locations. Press "1" on your touch-tone phone.
You should hear:
You have selected to monitor input locations.
Press the pound key following your selections.
Press "1" for datalogger internal temperature.
Press "2" for datalogger battery voltage.
Press "pound" to hear menu again.
Press "star" for previous menu.
Press "1" followed by "#" on your touch-tone
phone. You should hear:
Campbell Scientific datalogger program.
Datalogger internal temperature is (some value)
degrees Fahrenheit.
Press "pound" to hear menu again.
Press "star" for previous menu.
Press "2" followed by "#" on your touch-tone
phone. You should hear:
Datalogger battery voltage is (some value)
volts.
Press "pound" to hear menu again.
Press "star" for previous menu.
Let's back completely out of the VS1 and
disconnect the phone. Press "*" followed by
another "*" on your touch-tone phone. You
should hear the VS1 say "goodbye" and then
disconnect the phone.
Pressing the "#" key by itself will cause the VS1
to repeat the menu of the input locations and
the main menu. The "#" key will not cause the
menu to be repeated in the flag or port menus.
Pressing the "*" key will always back you up to
the previous menu, unless you are in the main
menu. There, the "*" will cause the VS1 to
disconnect the phone.
You do not have to wait for the voice to finish
speaking before pressing keys. If you know the
input location you want to hear just press the
correct sequence of keys without waiting for the
voice to finish speaking.
For example, to hear the datalogger battery
voltage without waiting for the voice to finish the
initial message, call up the VS1 and press the
following sequence of keys after the line has
connected: "1", "2", "#". You should hear:
