Display Options Module
The Display Options module is a core module that cannot be deleted, copied, or
linked. You configure it by altering the setup registers that hold settings such as
display mode, decimal accuracy, parameter labels, update time, date format, and
daylight savings time. Other setup registers control screen functions, such as
contrast level and backlight timeout. Settings in the Display Options modules are
global and affect the entire set of front panel display screens.

For the ION 7300 Series meters, configure the Display Options module AutoScroll setup register to
specify the time between automatic display scrolling. Refer to “Module Behavior in the ION 7300 Series
Meters” on page 196.
Scroll Modules
These modules are designed to control the scrolling rate of the display screens, and
the order in which the screens appear. The Trigger outputs of a Scroll module pulse
in succession. When linked to the Show inputs of a number of Display modules, the
front panel scrolls through the data linked to the Source inputs of the Display
modules.

The ION 7300 Series meters do not utilize the ION Scroll module; instead scrolling is configured in the

Module” on page 195, and the following section “Display Framework Overview” on page 196.
