Problem: My data values are being spoken in the wrong order.
Solution: Open your voice image file in the Vosponder Image
Development Software, and using the UP and DOWN arrow
keys to the left of the phrases, move the phrases into the order
that you want them spoken. Refer to the Section 3.2.
Problem: My data values are being spoken with the wrong text phrases.
Solution: This is caused by the order of the data being sent from the
datalogger to the Vosponder not matching with the order that the
Vosponder voice image file is expecting.
1. Check your datalogger program to make sure that the values
are located in consecutive input locations. Write this order
down or print a copy of the program to have available when
you check the voice image file later. Refer to Section 2.
2. Check the section of your program where the data values are
being transferred to the Vosponder to make sure that you are
sending the same number of data values as you have set the
voice image file up to expect. Refer to Section 2.
3. Open the voice image file using the Vosponder Image
Development Software and check to see that the text strings
are associated with the data values in the order that they are
being sent from the datalogger. If they are not, then make
the necessary modifications to the voice image file. Save
and test. Refer to Section 3.
Problem: The message is coming out but with the default data values
(i.e., 12.777, +27.777,+ 7777) instead of my data values, and the
message gets all messed up after these three values are spoken.
Solution: This is caused by the Vosponder not getting new data values
from the datalogger.
1. You will need to connect to the Vosponder through
HyperTerminal and at the M:> issue a “V” and then another
“V”. This will show you the most recent data that the
Vosponder has received from the datalogger. If the values
are still the default values of 12.77, +77.77, 7777 then this
means the datalogger is never passing new data values to the
Vosponder and there is a problem with the datalogger’s
program or the datalogger may not be functioning correctly.
2. Connect to the datalogger using LoggerNet and view the
numeric fields to make sure that new data values are being
displayed there.
3. Check the datalogger program to make sure that the control
port used for the P105 instruction is the same one that you
wired the SDI-12 interface cable from the Vosponder into on
the datalogger.
