Configure the Screen Saver
You can enable or disable the screen saver on the connected PanelView 800
terminal.
The terminal has four screen saver modes: screen saver, dimmer, screen saver
and dimmer, or disable.
•
Screen saver – activates after the idle timeout elapses using a default
screen saver image. The screen saver deactivates when you press a key.
•
Dimmer – dims the display from full brightness to the brightness level
you set when the idle timeout elapses. While the display is dimmed, you
can still see on-screen activity. When you press a key, the display is
restored to full brightness.
•
Screen saver and dimmer – activates the screen saver and dims the
display when the idle timeout elapses.
•
Disable screen saver and dimmer – keeps the display on.
The screen saver timeout is the amount of idle time that must elapse before the
screen saver, dimmer, or screen saver and dimmer activates. The idle time can
be adjusted between 1…60 minutes.
The brightness intensity of the screen saver or dimmer can be adjusted
between 0…100%.
