Communication
Communication with a VR2C receiver can be established using the VUE PC software or using ASCII
commands. The VUE software is useful in lab configurations, offloading complete VRL files from the
receiver, or whenever you can communicate with the receiver using a laptop or PC. Using VUE with a
VR2C is explained in section 3.1
The simple ASCII command set, found in section 3.2, is useful if you wish to create a script for grabbing
real time detections or to interface the receiver to a simple data logger or other device that can support either
RS232 or RS485 communications.

VUE Software Communication
VEMCO User Environment (VUE) PC software is used to configure, offload and analyze detection data
from VEMCO acoustic receivers. Communication with a VR2C receiver can be performed by using the
VUE software or by using ASCII commands. The VUE software is particularly useful in a lab setting for
configuring, offloading (VRL files) or checking the status of a receiver when the receiver is connected to a
Windows PC.
