| Overview
|
| When a system requires a count to be made when there is no wired input for it, a Virtual Count button would be used. Virtual Counts added to TIM Modules, PSM Modules are different from other modules. The button will show on the touch screen/monitor as a circle with the name in the center.
|
|
| Virtual Count Types
|
| Standard Count - provides a button on the touch screen that allows you to start and stop when the count is active/displayed.
|
| Linked Count - the count is setup as a subordinate of a Process - the count is active/displayed only after the Process has been started.
|
|
| Requirements
|
| 1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.
|
| 2. A Coordinator must be setup, powered and communicating with the VT3000 Core Software.
|
| 3. Hardware - TIM or PSM must be powered and communicating with the system.
