Keyboard compatibility
VIS3I-328 is compatible with earlier Visilynx 3 keyboards that show SW218-5 on
their LCD when switched on. However, VIS3I-328 systems using these keyboards
should not enable camera bi-directional telemetry alarms 1190 to 1701 for
keyboard access. These alarms cannot then be handled by PCCON either, but
VisiPC will show their true states.
IMPORTANT
These earlier keyboards cannot correctly determine whether they are supposed
to respond to these higher alarm numbers, and may show these alarms on their
alarm menus when they are not supposed to, or vice versa.
To disable these alarms for keyboard access:
1.
Start VisiPC in the
Visilynx3 Configurator
sub-program as described in the
VisiPC Software Manual.
2.
Select the
Alarm Settings
menu screen.
3.
For each
Alarm
, ID 1190 onwards, ensure that None is selected in the
Type
drop down menu.
4.
Save the configuration and transfer the file to VIS3I-328.
NOTE
To be able to handle camera bi-directional telemetry alarms 1190 onwards at keyboards and when
using PCCON, make sure you are using keyboards that show SW218-6 or higher on their LCD when
switched on. Response options other than None can then be selected in the
Type
drop down menu at
the
Visilynx3 Configurator
sub-program
Alarm Settings
menu screen for these
Alarm
IDs.
