Auto Clear Option
The next prompt that you must respond to controls whether or not the
display will clear after the message is shown. The prompt appears like this:
If you select the AUTO CLEAR option, the DL5 will clear the display after
the message has been displayed for the requested wait time. If you do not
select the AUTO CLEAR option, the last block of the message will remain
on the display until it is replaced with another message.
Auto Repeat Option
The next prompt that you must respond to allows a message to be repeated
indefinitely. The prompt for the AUTO REPEAT option appears like this:
If you select the AUTO REPEAT option, the message continually
re-triggers itself after it completes its display. If you do not select the
AUTO REPEAT option, the DL5 will display the message only once for
every message trigger that is received.
Note: The AUTO REPEAT function will only work with message triggers
that are in either binary or Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format. The
function will not work when the DL5 is in the round robin or priority mode
of operation.
Flash Message Option
The last prompt determines whether or not the message flashes:
Selecting the FLASH MESSAGE option will cause the message to flash
once per second while it is being displayed. After you respond to the
FLASH MESSAGE prompt, the DL5 will display a flashing cursor. You
can now enter a message.
