Serial Dump Summary:

1: <Day/Night>

2: Addr

3: Regs/VCG/Zones ...data

4: Regs/VCG/Zones ...data

5: Regs/VCG/Zones ...data

6: Return to 2, or Unaddress (this does the saving on addressed unit)

NOTES:

1: Ensure that the Revision Number "V1.14" "V1.14A" "V1.14B" "V1.14C"

"V2.01" appears on the opening screen, on power up.

This protocol in this note works with only those firmware revisions.

2: Ensure the unit address sent, matches the unit address on the

opening screen, on power up. You can alter this on the DS-1

by holding the MENU button for several seconds on power up, which

then displays a special CONFIGURATION screen.

The unit address is 0, by default, when it left the factory.

3: During Serial dumping, check to see the yellow LED is lit on

the addressed unit. This indicates the addressed unit is

receiving data.

4: If data is being lost, insert a short delay between each block of

data being sent. (eg. after addressing, after registers dump, and

after unaddressing)
