connections. For systems employing a single
VS8x8 unit, the serial cable is connected to the
rear panel RJ11 connector labeled HOST. For
systems using multiple VS8x8’s, the systems are
“daisy-chained” by connecting the LOOP (RS232
Out) connector of each unit to the HOST (RS232
In) connector of the next successive unit.
Operating Modes
Burst Electronics’ default setting is Mode 1.
Confirmation of the mode setting is accomplished
by noting the number of flashes of the SET LED.
Mode 1; the SET LED flashes once, then the LED
stays on. Mode 2; the SET LED flashes twice,
then the LED stays on. Mode 3; the SET LED
flashes three times, then the LED turns off. Mode
4; the SET LED flashes four times, then the LED
turns off. The unit can be easily programmed
using the front panel switches by adjusting the
following parameters:
1. Operating Mode
2. Serial Port Baud Rate
3. Unit Identification Code
Setting Operating Mode
Upon power up, the VS8x8 will flash the SET
LED to indicate the currently programmed
operating mode. The SET LED will flash either
one, two, three, or four times to indicate the
programmed operating mode. If the VS8x8 is not
programmed, or an improper mode is selected,
the SET LED will flash at a 5Hz rate continuously.
