Each table has 2048 characters to modify and there are 88 choices for each character for a 

total of over 18,000 character choices for each table. For this reason the tables are much too 
large to be modified directly from the Setup Mode. However table files can be obtained and 

downloaded to the unit to allow for modification of any table. All that is needed is a 
computer interface (RS232 or Bluetooth) and a communication program such as 

HyperTerminal or the vDash utility. Contact Checto Digital Instruments for more 

information on obtaining additional table files to match particular senders/sensors.
