Advanced text messaging: Example 9 — Special effects with modes (Trailing modes)

Example 9 — Special effects with modes (Trailing modes)

Modes, like

ROTATE

and

ROLL

, are used to create special effects with

messages. Typically modes are used once at the beginning of a message.
However, a mode can also be placed at the end of a message (called a
“trailing mode”) to create a special effect.

NOTE: The following can not be used as a trailing mode:

CONDENSED

ROTATE

SCROLL

SLIDE

SNOW

, and

SPRAY

Step

When you do this...

You see this...

Delete all the messages currently stored in the sign.
(See “Clearing a sign’s memory” on page 5 or “Example 5 — Deleting messages” on page 16.)
