1. VJ77 PC-based Parameters Setting
Tool
This chapter gives an overview of the VJ77 tool and describes its operating
environment.
1.1 An Overview of VJ77 and Its Functions
1.1.1 What is VJ77?
The VJ77 Parameter Setting Tool is a PC software package for setting various parameters
and computing unit programs of the microcomputer-based JUXTA, and various parameters
of YS80 series rack instruments with the BRAIN communication function (hereafter, the
YS80).
1.1.2 Functions
Parameter setting
Setsparametersthatcongurethefunctionsofmicroprocessor-basedJUXTAorYS80
instruments.
Program setting
Sets programs of microprocessor-based JUXTA computing units.
ProgramscanbeeditedfromaPCevenwheno󰀪ine.*
*AstateinwhichthePC(VJ77)andtheJUXTAinstrumentarenotconnected
Download to/upload from the JUXTA instrument
Uploads parameters or program from a microprocessor-based JUXTA instrument to a
personal computer, and downloads the parameters and program once loaded or a program
you created, to a JUXTA instrument. It also enables you to read and write parameters to and
fromtheYS80.YoucanalsowritetoaYS80evenitisofadi󰀨erentstyle.
Data saving to disk
Saves parameters or program in a JUXTA instrument to the hard disk of a personal
computer, etc. Also, you can save loaded YS80 parameters to the PC’s hard disk.
Data printing
Prints parameters or program uploaded from a JUXTA instrument. Also, you can print
loaded YS80 parameters to a printer connected to the PC.
Input/output value monitor
Views the I/O values and the result of self-diagnosis of a microprocessor-controlled JUXTA
or YS80 instrument.
Input and output adjustment
Adjusts inputs and outputs of a microprocessor-controlled JUXTA or YS80 instrument.
