Hello,
I'm Laura and I'm looking for some help or advice from anyone more vanguard experienced than I.
Ie just inherited the following, a. Vanguard 3000 and it's original controller, a newer EP Control Module, and the majority of a really old computer. I'm assuming the pc was meant to manage the EP control module. However the pc is missing a hard drive, and I have no clue how to connect the pc to the EP control module.
SO. I've connected the engraver to its original cartridge based controller brain, and a RCA input only monitor, fired it up, and it booted the v-3000 program. Having previously downloaded and read all the manuals for the engraver, operating program, and the EP controll module I should be able to navigate through the three main menus: job, composition, and engraving by using the arrow keys and the edit param buttons. But that's not the case. It is not consistent in its responses to the buttons pressed.
I hope I'm not stuck, but any words of wisdom about where or how to proceed from here would be awesome.
Thanks,
Laura M.
