“Continuous” mode, the message is now processed as follows:
•
The data in Data Field 1 (the word “CAUTION”) scrolls onto
the display from right to left (“ON Dir”= Left)
•
The data scrolls at its fastest rate (“ON Speed” = Very Fast)
•
The data scrolls to the left end of the display and stops
(The default font justification = Left)
•
The data is displayed for a brief period (“Time ON” = 0.693)
•
The data from Data Field 2 (the word “AHEAD”) scrolls onto
the display from right to left (“ON Dir” = Left), forcing the
previous data to scroll off the display in the same direction
•
The new data scrolls at its fastest rate (“ON Speed” = Very Fast)
•
This data scrolls to the left end of the display and stops
(The default font justification = Left)
•
The data is displayed for a brief period (“Time ON” = 0.693)
•
The data scrolls off the display to the left, the same direction configured
in the “ON Dir” parameter.
•
The display is blank for 0.693 seconds.
In Continuous mode, the display remains blank for a time equal to the “ON Time” of the last Data
Field used. In this example, the last Data Field used is Data Field 2, so the display remains blank
for 0.693 seconds. This demonstrates one of the significant differences between “On-Off” and
“Continuous” mode. To further understand these differences, try changing the scrolling parameters
and observe how the message is displayed in the various modes.
