Daktronics Venus 1500 Ver 3.x - Manual (Page 145)

The Venus 1500 Display Manager 131
Tutorial
Note: This feature applies only to the following firmware versions for the various
technologies:
InfoNet Displays (excluding model G-1000 displays): Revision 14 or higher
(Firmware Number ED-10133)
Venus 1500-Controlled DataTrac displays: Revision 16 or higher (Firmware Number
ED-10132)
Galaxy, SunSpot or Glow Cube displays: Revision 17 or higher (Firmware Number
ED-10134 for Galaxy displays and ED-12699 for RGB Galaxy displays)
The Retrieve Message button copies an existing message from the display to the
computer for editing in the Venus 1500 Message Studio. This feature is especially useful when
having computer technical problems and a different computer is needed to communicate
with the display. If the messages are still stored in the display, it is possible to recover or
―retrieve‖ them into the new computer’s hard drive directly from the display.
To retrieve a message:
1.
Highlight the desired message under the Stored Messages column.
2. Click the Retrieve Message button .
Notes:
For Version 2 controllers, the text object is no longer separately available for editing in
text mode. The text objects placed on graphic frames are merged into a single image once
the message is sent to the display. Therefore, when a message containing such a frame is
retrieved, the graphic frame can only be edited on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
The Advanced Status button will list the current firmware version used by the display.
