VSI-Pro Max Remote PC Program Downloading
The VSI-Pro Max has the ability to upload or download all the programming settings and history files along with update
firmware via a PC Windows based application. Custom or specific register configurations can now be saved in a laptop for
ease of service and programming. You can set the VSI-Pro Max clock in sync with a laptop or manually enter. Simple
keyboard strokes can enter titles, exceptions and trigger strings quickly and easily. This is accomplished by using a
Com port of the laptop or a USB to RS-232 adapter. Auto connection time out and error recovery guarantees the VSI-Pro
Max will function under any condition including cable breakage, power down of laptop or VSI-Pro Max and accidentally
hitting reset on the VSI-Pro Max during connection.
