Datalogger battery voltage is (some value)
volts.
Press "pound" to hear menu again.
Press "star" for previous menu.
If you don't wish to hear the rest of the message
after hearing what the datalogger voltage level
is press "*", "*". You should hear the VS1 say
"goodbye" and disconnect the phone. The first
"*" exits you out of the input locations menu to
the main menu. The second "*" causes the VS1
to disconnect the phone.
6.2. FLAGS AND PORTS
Monitoring and changing the status of flags and
ports is almost identical. For this exercise, let's
work only with the flags.
Call up the VS1 using your phone and at the
main menu press "3" on the phone keypad to
get to the flag menu. You should hear:
You have selected the flag menu.
Press "1" through "8" to monitor status of flag.
Press "star" for previous menu.
Let's look at flag #2. Press "2" on the phone
keypad. You should hear:
Flag two is low.
To toggle flag press "pound", "pound."
Press "star" to return to previous menu.
Press "1" through "8" to monitor flag status.
Let's toggle flag #2. Press "#", "#". You should
hear:
Flag two is high.
To toggle flag press "pound", "pound."
Press "star" to return to previous menu.
Press "1" through "8" to monitor flag status."
Before disconnecting let's return flag #2 to its
original condition. Press "#", "#". You should
hear:
Flag two is low.
To toggle flag press "pound", "pound."
Press "star" to return to previous menu.
Press "1" through "8" to monitor flag status.
This is exactly what we had before. Press "*",
"*" to disconnect.
You can skip listening to the VS1 and go directly
to the port or flag menu if you know what flag or
port you wish to monitor or toggle. You can go
through the identical steps above with the ports
menu.
WARNING: There is an inherent hazard to
being able to toggle ports and flags over the
phone. Anybody who has the phone
number to the datalogger can call up and
toggle ports and flags. You might be using
the flags to control sections of your program
in the datalogger, or you might be using the
ports to control external circuitry. The VS1
has the capability of using a security code
to lock out callers from everything but the
initial message information. See Section 8.1
in this manual on generating and using the
security code.
7. USING THE VS1 VOICE
SYNTHESIZER EDITOR
7.1. GETTING STARTED
EDLOG is used to create the initial *.DLD files
and the VS1 Voice Synthesizer Editor has to
modify those files to work with the VS1. From
now on, let's refer to the VS1 Voice Synthesizer
Editor simply as the Editor.
Make sure EXMPL1.DLD is in the same
directory as the VS1.EXE file. It doesn't have to
be in the same directory, but it will make using
the Editor easier.
The Editor can be used with a mouse or with a
keyboard. Only the left mouse button is used in
VS1. Both mouse and keyboard use will be
explained. If you have a keyboard and a mouse
you can use either mouse or keyboard, or use
combinations of both.
Instructions for mouse use will be preceded with
the symbol:

Instructions for keyboard use will be preceded
with the symbol:

The instructions for both the mouse and the
keyboard will be separated from the text by
rules.
