VS1 AND VOICE SYNTHESIZER EDITOR
16
7.7 QUICK SAVE
The Editor appends special characters to the
end of the *.DLD file after it has been modified
and saved. These characters are vital for the
VS1 to operate. These special characters are
lost if you change a modified *.DLD file using
EDLOG and then save it.
If you decide to change some of the datalogger
instructions in a previously modified *.DLD file,
using EDLOG, but don't want to change any
input memory locations, there is a simple way to
modify it to work with the VS1. At the DOS
prompt, type the following:
vs1 [path][filename] /s <Enter>
The path is required if the *.DLD file is not in the
same directory as VS1.EXE. It isn't required to
put the .DLD extension at the end of your
filename. You should see the Editor briefly
appear on your screen. It will modify the file,
then save it.
8. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
8.1 SETTING THE SECURITY CODE
A four digit security code can be used with the
VS1 to prevent users from setting or resetting
flags or ports. To implement this into your
program do the following:
1. Load your program into the Editor.
2. Select the EDIT main menu option and the
STRING MENU suboption.
3. A window will appear in the center of your
screen with the SECURITY CODE: field
highlighted. Enter a four digit number into
this field.
4. To save your security code either <Tab> to
OK and press <Enter>, or if you have a
mouse, click on the OK.
If you do forget this number you can reenter the
Editor and go back into your file to see what
security number you originally created.
When the VS1 is called up by telephone it will
eventually ask you to enter the security code
followed by the pound button on the telephone.
Enter your specific security code followed by the
pound button. For example, if my security code
was "1234" I would enter "1234#" from my
touch-tone phone. After entering your security
code you will be able to change flag and port
settings from your touch-tone phone.
The security code used with the VS1 is not the
same security code you can use with the
datalogger. See the CR10 OPERATOR'S
MANUAL for more information.
Exit the VS1 as normal.
NOTE: Remember to write this number
down. The datalogger WILL NOT let you
alter any of the ports or flags if you do not
enter this number.
8.2 RENAMING MENU STRINGS FOR INPUT
LOCATION, PORTS, AND FLAGS
The Editor will allow you to rename the input
location, port, and flag strings. These strings
are what you hear when you call the datalogger.
The STRING MENU suboption in the EDIT
main menu option is used to rename these
strings. You must use words that are presently
in the vocabulary list. In order to change an
input string:
1. Enter your program into the Editor.
2. Select the EDIT main menu option. Select
the STRING MENU suboption.
3. Use the <Tab> key or your mouse to
highlight the string field you wish to change.
4. Delete the present string setting using the
<Del> key.
5. Either type in a word from the word list or
import a word using the same method to
create input message strings.
6. Save your changes from the keyboard by
using <Tab> to highlight OK and press
<Enter>. If you have a mouse put the
mouse cursor on OK and click the left
mouse button.
8.3 USING THE VS1 TO HEAR OUTPUT
LOCATION DATA
Output data is normally stored in the
datalogger's ring memory. This prevents VS1
from getting access to the data stored there. In
order to hear the present output data it needs to
be diverted to an input location and then use
this input location with the VS1.
