Campbell Scientific VSP3 Vosponder Voice Radio Interface - Manual (Page 26)

Section 4. Vosponder Configuration and Programming
4-2
The screen replicas depicted in this section will be those displayed when using
Microsoft® HyperTerminal® Version 5.1 running under Windows® XP.
Other terminal emulation programs may have some slight differences, but
should function in a similar manner.
Once the terminal program is running and the configuration settings have been
saved, you should see a blank terminal screen. Press any key to bring up the
Vosponder main menu prompt. At this point the Vosponder switches from
runtime mode to terminal command mode.

FIGURE 4-1. Terminal Command Mode - Main Menu Prompt
4.2 Entering Commands
Upon displaying the main menu prompt (M:>), the Vosponder is ready to
accept commands. Note that, due to the precedence of the internal processes
the terminal may require several keystrokes before it responds with the initial
main menu prompt. The terminal cannot respond while transmitting text or
receiving SDI-12 data and does not store keystrokes while busy.
All command entries must be in UPPER CASE letters. You may want to
turn the keyboard “Caps Lock” on while working with the Vosponder in
terminal command mode. Lower case letters are ignored, and thus you may try
to enter commands using lower case letters and think the Vosponder is not
working properly.
Menu prompts that are displayed will indicate the current menu level and
command. If a colon (“:”) is present, it indicates that you are at the top level of
the current menu.
M:> denotes that you are in the Main menu at the top level
When the colon (“:”) is not present then it indicates that you are in the lowest
possible level of a menu. For example:
Vi> denotes that you are in the View | Image menu, and that
there are no other menus below this level. You still have
options to choose from but you are at the end of the menu
tree.
