Introduction
1.2.3 Printer
The printer for the VXP system is a portable thermal printer that connects directly to a dedicated
serial port on the Acquisition Unit via the 902-15371 AU to DU cable. This cable also brings
power to the printer from the accessory power supply in the AU. The printer contains an internal
Ni-MH battery that is charged while external power is being supplied. An AC adapter is also
provided for indoor use. The printer is configured using three internal DIP switches, which must
be set properly in order for the printer to work with the VXP system. Refer to section 2.2.3.2 for
information on checking and setting the DIP switches.
1.2.4 CompactFlash Card and Adapter
The VXP system includes a CompactFlash Card and Adapter that is used to transfer application
and configuration files to the system (upload) and data files from the system (download) for
storage. The adapter is for 8 or 16MB CompactFlash cards. The CompactFlash Adapter connects
to the VXP Display Unit through the PCMCIA interface. Table 1-6 contains the leading
particulars for the CompactFlash Card Adapter.
