Green Mode is the power-saving mode for the monitor. When the
TMCAT17 system does NOT detect any keystrokes or mouse activities for
a preset period of time after you access a channel, the system enters the
Green Mode, and the screen becomes blank. You can turn on or off the
function, or change the length of time for which the keyboard and mouse
must be idle before the system enters the Green Mode.
