7 Operating the VS-88HDxl
You can operate your VS-88HDxl using:
• The front panel buttons
• RS-232/RS-485 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen
system, PC, or other serial controller
• RC-IR3 infrared remote control transmitter
7.1 Operating the VS-88HDxl from the Front Panel
The following operations are performed by using the front panel buttons.
7.1.1 Power On Display
When the VS-88HDxl is powered on, the display briefly shows the 4-digit
firmware version number, the genlock timing setting, and then the display
changes to its normal operating display.
7.1.2 Using the AT ONCE and CONFIRM Modes
Choose to work in either the AT ONCE or the CONFIRM modes. When the
VS-88HDxl operates in the AT ONCE mode, pressing an OUT-IN
combination implements the switch immediately. In the CONFIRM mode,
the change does not take place until the TAKE button is pressed.
The AT ONCE mode is faster since execution is immediate and actions
require no user confirmation. However, no protection is offered against
changing an action in error.
In the CONFIRM mode:
• You can key-in several actions and then confirm them by pressing
the “TAKE” button, to simultaneously activate the multiple
switches
• Every action requires user confirmation, protecting against
erroneous switching due to human error (pressing the wrong
button)
• Execution is delayed until the user confirms the action
7.1.3 Switching in the AT ONCE Mode
To switch an input to an output in the AT ONCE mode, do the following:
1. Press an OUT SELECT button

or the ALL button.
The 7-segment display flashes.
