Red Lion LEGEND - Manual (Page 32)

PROGRAM MESSAGE MODULE (Cont’d)
MESSAGE TEXT
A message can contain up to 200 characters. The keypad can be used to
perform message editing functions such as; scrolling through message text,
inserting and deleting characters, toggling from upper/lower case, toggling from
Extended/Standard ASCII characters sets, etc. Refer to table below for text
editing key functions. Message Text and other message parameters may also be
programmed utilizing the optional Legend Plus Programming Software.
Before entering message text, the message type (1L/2L Block or Scroll)
should be configured. This selection will affect the formatting of the message
text. When entering block messages, an end of line character and an end of
block character can be used to conserve message memory. The End of Line
character is displayed as a small open square. It is used only on the top line in 2
line block messages. If there is more than one space at the end of the top line,
the End of Line character should be inserted after the last non space character.
The End of Block character is displayed as a large open block. It can be
inserted after the last character of a message block on either display line.
Message blocks that contain only End of Line and/or End of Block characters
will be blank when displayed. The End of Line or End of Block are not used in
character scrolling messages (1L or 2L Scrol).
The Last character in a message is the End of Message character, which is
displayed as a large solid block. The End of Message character cannot be edited.
