Load new configuration as necessary
Each installation requires its own unique configuration for it to operate correctly
with the cameras and monitors in use. You edit and load this configuration using
the
VisiPC (Visilynx 3 Configurator)
sub-program.
Each VIS3I-328 is supplied with a factory default configuration pre-loaded during
manufacture. You restore this default configuration using the
VisiPC (Visilynx 3
Configurator)
sub-program and selecting
New
on the
File
menu, and then
transferring it to the VIS3I-328. You can also use this configuration file as a basis
for editing a new configuration tailored to the installation.
Some of the pre-loaded configuration settings are shown in Tab. 6.

Load Asian display font data
If you are using the VIS3I-328 units in an Asian country, you may need to install
the combined European and Asian display font data using VisiPC, as only the
European display font data is installed during manufacture.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to load the Asian font if the PC running VisiPC software is
loaded with the Chinese version of the Windows operating system. Due to
incompatibilities outside Siemens’ control, this may fail. Instead, use a PC
loaded with European or American Windows.
To transfer the Asian font to a VIS3I-328 unit:
1.
Run the VisiPC software with the PC COM port connected to the Test/Config
port.
2.
Select the
VisiPC (Visilynx 3 Configurator)
sub-program, as detailed in the
VisiPC Software User Manual.
3.
On the menu bar select
Transfer
, then the
Software
option and then
Ok
.
4.
Select the SW251-2.x.hex file from the CD and press the
Open
button.
NOTE
This takes several minutes to transfer to the unit.
