Cummins Vendor Component Program (VCP) for Win32 SystemsVCP Status Window- Automatically TerminateThis checkbox should be checked if the user desires that the user interfaceautomatically terminate at the end of the VEPS session, instead of waiting for theuser to press the Exit button. This option may be used to return control to thecalling program without any additional user interactionVCP Status Window - Display timeThis value is only valid when the user has configured the VCP to automaticallyterminate. This value is the amount of time, in seconds, that the user interfacewill stay active after the VCP session has ended.CommunicationsInline II – J1939When specifying the Inline II, the VCP will try to communicate with the engineusing the protocol that has been selected by the J1708 / J1939 radio buttons. Ifcommunications cannot be established with the chosen protocol, the VCP willattempt the alternate protocol before failing. Choosing the protocol that iscurrently in use will decrease the time needed for the VCP to establishcommunication with the Engine. The COMM port is selected in the VEPSparameter file. See Section 3.RP1210If one or more RP1210 drivers have been installed on the system, the VCP willdetect it and enable the RP1210 radio button. If RP1210 is selected, the user mustspecify which Vendors RP1210 driver to use (if there is more than one), and theprotocol and device which is being used. When using RP120, the COMM portspecified in the parameter file is ignored, the correct comport must be selected inthe Device combo box.ReportsVEPS session reports can be setup to be printed automatically after the VCP completesprogramming. If this option is selected, the user can chose to print to the default printer,or print via the print dialog.

Choosing to print viathe print dialog will allow the user to specify the printer, and will also give them a chanceto cancel the print job.Miscellaneous settingsErase inactive faultsThis checkbox should be checked if the user desires that the VCP automaticallyerase all inactive faults in the ECM after the parameters are programmed.- 17 - 12/15/06
