Slave message color
This attribute allows you to control the color of a message sent to a

Marquee Display. The setting options available to you include:

Default Default Default
Red

Important: The factory setting for this attribute in the Message
Attribute Defaults menu is Default. We recommend leaving that
value unchanged. Do not use any selection other than Default for
DL10, DL20, or Red DL50 slave displays.
Note: This attribute is not available from the DL40 message display
onboard editor. It is only accessible through the Offline
Programming Software.
Slave message length
Use the Slave Message Length attribute only with DL50 slave
displays. Its purpose is to allow display of 10-character messages on
“short” DL50 displays operating in large text mode. Large text
mode displays characters that are 4.8 in. (12.2 cm) tall. Applicable
displays include Catalog No. 2706-F11J (Red DL50 Message
Display) and 2706-F11JC (Tri–color DL50 Message Display).
Acceptable values for this attribute include:
For DL10 or DL20 For DL50
20 20
10
The factory setting for the Slave Message Length attribute is 20,
which means the slave message length will always be set to 20 when
you create a message unless you have specified a new setting on the
Message Attribute Defaults menu.
Note: This attribute is not available from the DL40 message display
onboard editor. It is only accessible through the Offline
Programming Software.
