Ending the program
Once the console text and settings are to your liking, and have been
written to the console, and saved to a file if desired, the VDip program can
be ended by selecting “Exit” from the “File” menu. The console settings
will remain as you have set them until the next time the VDip program is
run. You can remove the computer connection or leave it hooked up, as you
desire. Note that if you leave the connection to the computer in place, you
should set the LOC/REM switch on the OMD module to “local” in case
some other program on the computer tries to write to the COM port. It is
unlikely that a stray message sent out the COM port will cause any changes
because it will be ignored unless it is sent in the precise 220 serial protocol,
but simply switching the console to “local” provides extra insurance.
