The programming buttons are used in a slightly different way with this screen than with the others. Specifically,
to select the position within the title line that is to have a character assigned to it, hold down the SHIFT key
and move the flashing cursor with the right or left arrow keys. When the cursor is flashing in the desired
location, release the SHIFT key. Now all four-arrow keys may be used to select the character to be assigned
to the location just selected by moving among the characters displayed in the dashed box in the center of the
screen. When the desired character is located, pressing ENTER puts it into the title. To view all available
characters, press either the up or down arrow keys continuously to scroll the entire character set through the
“window” in the center of the screen.
SPECIAL CHARACTERS: Included in the character set are some special characters that help in
cases where the menu characters do not stand out sufficiently to be readable. These special
characters have an outline around them. They are enabled by line E, Char. Outline, of the Monitor
Setup menu for the corresponding monitor (A or B).
Monitor Setup
Monitor setup involves writing a monitor title, specifying certain display characteristics, and programming the
sequential switching function. Most of the entries in the Monitor Setup menu are associated with the title and
display:
Monitor Setup
A. Return to Main Menu
B. Monitor: A
C. Monitor Title
D. Title Type
E. Char. Outline: Off
F. Sequence And Dwell
G. Program Schedule
In line B, select the monitor to be programmed by toggling between A and B with the right or left arrow key.
Writing the Monitor Title
Each monitor can be given its own title of up to 24 characters. The character set includes the alphabet,
numerals from 0 to 9, common punctuation marks, various symbols, and foreign language characters. This
programming screen allows you to write the title for the monitor.
Select Monitor Title from the Monitor Setup and the following screen will be displayed (Note: your screen might
say Shifted instead of Shift):
