C.5.5 Communications
Like a message, the counter’s
information must be sent to the
sign location before it will appear
on the sign. When multiple
counters (Counters 1, 2 and 3)
are being used, configuration
information for each counter is
individually sent.
m
Note: Connection status information can be found near the bottom of the dialog
box. As you download counter information and communicate with the signs, keep
watch on these indicators, as they will alert you to any errors that may occur and
provide feedback on the communication status. Once a connection with the sign(s) is
established, two additional buttons, [
DISCONNECT ] and [ ABORT COMMAND ], are
enabled.
The list of signs for the current sign type is listed in the Communications box under
Select A Sign.
1. Highlight the sign(s) to display the current counter file.
2. Click on [
SET COUNTER 1 ]. The Venus 1500 software will send Counter 1’s
configuration information to the sign(s).
3. Repeat the previous steps for Counters 2 and 3 if they will also be used.
When it is time to start running the counter:
1. If they aren’t currently highlighted, select the signs to run the counter file.
2. Select counter(s) to run from the Select Counters box.

Note: Selecting more
than one counter will run them simultaneously.
3. Click on [ START COUNTER(S) ].
To stop a counter:
1. Select the sign(s) you wish to stop the counter file.
2. Select counter(s) to stop from the Select Counters box.
3. Click on [
STOP COUNTER(S) ].
