6.10 Viasis PLUS display
The add-on display board of the viasis PLUS is in general a two line LED full matrix with own
separate microcontroller with the „Viamatrix“ firmware and a flash memory for the display
text, bitmap graphics and display parameters.
The following description shows how configure
the viasis PLUS by using the viagraph input
window, which is reached by a click on the
Ma-
trix
button, see illustration 11.
The viasis PLUS display can also be completely
configured by using any terminal software and
the Viamatrix menu system, which is called by
entering <ESC> in the viasis main menu:
Viamatrix menu
1. Text messages
2. User character bitmaps
3. Test functions
4. Parameter
5. Information
6. Back
Select 1 .. 6
From the Viamatrix menu you get back to the viasis menu if you enter ‚
6
’ for
Back
.
Attention: Before you close a communication connection and if you used the
Viamatrix menu before - return always to the viasis menu. Otherwise the
Viamatrix program will wait for further menu insertions and will not show
any matrix message until you returned to the viasis menu.
The Viamatrix program has an input menu timeout of 30 seconds until it returns automatically
back to the next upper menu level or resp. to the viasis menu, what makes the “forgot to re-
turn” problem less grave. But depending on the Viamatrix menu level where closed the
connection it still may need several minutes until matrix messages are given again.
The Viamatrix software
Test functions
and the
Information
menu are not supported by
viagraph and can be reached therefore only by the menu system.
As the viasis parameter settings the matrix display pages, bitmaps and parameters can be set
offline if you click on the menu

in the viagraph start window,
see illustration 32. Together with the viasis parameter settings a file can be created (see chapter
6.2.4.1) and stored on an USB flash stick for a later upload in the viasis.
The speed thresholds for the activation of the matrix display pages are part of the viasis param-
eter sets, see also chapter 6.3.6.5
