Designing a Message...
Message Characteristics...
As defined earlier, a Message can consist of text, graphics or a combination of the two. Every
Message has two major characteristics that must be defined by the operator: Display and
Functional.
Display characteristics determine the way the Message looks on the Messenger. Display
effects include the following:
•
The font size (default or Bold)
• The type of background (default or Reverse)
• The font layout (default or Mirror)
• The font justification (default, Center or Right)
Functional characteristics determine the way the Message enters and exits the Messen-
ger. These characteristics are configured in the “Scrolling Parameters” window. This window is
opened by clicking on any of the “Functional Effects” buttons in the “Messenger Editor” window.
A “Functional Effects” button can only set characteristics for the Data Field to which it is
adjacent (Fig. 7).
The functions of the “Scrolling Parameters” window are different, depending on whether the
On-Off/Continuous button is set to the On-Off setting, or to the Continuous setting. In their
respective modes, the windows will look like this:
