If there is a match to the search string, the associated information is displayed
on the screen. However, if there is no match, then the prompt “NO MATCH”
displays, and the cursor is positioned for you to enter another string to search.
Note: The Search String capability is limited to numeric values only for
Hebrew, Arabic, and multiple language pagers.
Price Charts
The Timeport P730 Information Pager automatically plots a chart of stock
prices or other numerical values for instruments or topics in your quickview
(not quickview folder). Ten stock price charts can be displayed, one for each
quickview you set up. The price charts are based on the values in the original
topic messages and start collecting price data for charting once your selected
information is put into quickview.
Note: The date and time setting on the Timeport P730 Information Pager
must be correct otherwise the charts will not reflect the current information.

A moving window (the timeframe, as determined by your service provider) of
price points is tracked for numerical topics that are put into quickview. The
charts also display the maximum and minimum price reached. A vertical
dotted line separates the previous day’s and current day’s prices or values as
the chart crosses over from previous day to current day.
Note: For the period when the pager senses out of range, the chart leaves a
gap until it is back in range.
To view the price charts, make sure that the quickview containing the
numerical topic that you want is highlighted (
J
) on the Status screen.
Pressing
u
causes the first full screen of message text (such as stock
information) to display. Continue pressing
u
until the message text is
completed. Press
u
again to display the stock chart.
