Hide Message
This attribute suppresses the message from displaying on the DL40
Plus but does send it to a slave display, printer, or place it on the
Historical Events Stack. The other attribute settings for the message
determine its destination(s).
For example, assume the Hide message, Print message and Send to
Slave 2 attributes are enabled. The message will not appear on the
display but a copy of the message is printed and displayed on the
slave addressed as 2.
Note: When used with [CTRL][X] (ASCII Input Data), the underscore
prompt for this data is still displayed on the DL40 Plus even when
the Hide Message attribute is active.
Type [Y][

Acknowledge Message
This attribute holds the message until you press the [MSG ACK] button on
the front of the DL40 Plus. The next message is displayed only after
the
[MSG ACK] button is pushed.
Note: We recommend that you enable message queueing when using
this attribute.

Slave Message Color
This attribute lets you control the color of a message sent to a
color–capable slave display such as the DL50 Tri–Color Marquee
Display. You can select from three different colors on a per message
basis: red, amber, or green.
Slave Message Length
Use this attribute only with the DL50 slave displays. Its purpose is
to display 10 character messages on “short” DL50 displays (Catalog
No. 2706–F11J, –F11JC) operating in large text mode. Large text
mode displays characters that are 4.8 in. (12.2 cm) tall.
