The Venus 1500 Display Manager 123
Click Set Time/Date to update the time and date on the selected display’s internal clock to
match that of the computer running the Venus 1500 software.
Set Brightness provides three options:
Automatic – The display’s brightness level adjusts automatically based on readings
from an external light sensor at the display site, when installed. This is the
recommended setting.
Manual – This option permits the operator to adjust the intensity of the display using
the Min/Max slider bar at the right.
Schedule – When a schedule is running, the display’s brightness adjusts as
programmed in the schedule.
Select the desired option and then click Set Brightness to activate it
for the selected display.
The test patterns are used to assist maintenance personnel who
may be troubleshooting the display (Figure 153).
The test patterns are available only for the following firmware versions. A
Venus 1500-controlled display will show its firmware version upon power
up or reset. Refer to its maintenance and troubleshooting manual.
InfoNet Displays (excluding model G-1000 Displays): Revision 14 or higher (Firmware
Number ED-10133)
Venus 1500 Controlled DataTrac Displays: Revision 16 or higher (Firmware Number
ED-10132)
Galaxy, SunSpot or Glow Cube displays: Revision 17 or higher (Firmware Number
ED-10134 for Galaxy Displays; ED-12699 for RGB Galaxy Displays)
Select the desired test from the drop-down menu. Cycle All will run all of the listed tests.
Click Start Test. Once testing is complete, click Stop Test.
Note: Not all listed tests will work with every display. If a particular test does not appear on
the display, then that test is not supported in the display’s firmware.
The temperature offset is used when the external temperature sensor at the display site needs
to be adjusted to reflect the true outside temperature. The offset increases or decreases the
measured temperature by the specified amount before showing it on the display.
Use the up and down arrows to specify the amount of offset. Click Set Temperature Offset to
activate the adjustment.
