Advanced text messaging
Applying modes to text and inserting graphics/animations
Modes determine the way text and graphics move on a sign. For example, the
ROTATE mode moves a message across the sign from right to left. If no mode is
specified, the sign will automatically be in Automode, which includes a variety of
different modes.
For a list of available modes and graphics/animations, see “Appendix A — Modes,
Graphics, Fonts and Colors” on page 44.
