• Address Header – directs the command to the specified marquee. To send the command to a different
marquee, change the second character of the address header to the address of the marquee you wish to send
the command to. If you have disabled the addressing feature of the marquee, do not send the address header
section.
• Set Pause – instructs the 2800 to change the minimum display time for non-scrolling messages.
• Number – the amount of time to pause before displaying the next message. Valid values range from [1]
which selects a pause time of ½ second, to [9] which selects a pause time of 4½ seconds. The pause time
interval is calculated as Time_In_Seconds = n * ½.
When the marquee displays a non-scrolling message, it “pauses” for the specified pause time before displaying
any other messages. Suppose, message queuing is enabled and stored messages 001, 002, and 003 are
recalled. All three messages are short enough to print on the marquee without scrolling. With the pause time set
to [1], each messages is displayed for ½ second before being replaced by the next one. But if pause time is set
to [6], then each message is displayed for 3 seconds before being replaced by the next one.
Generally, if you are recalling stored messages, then it is best to set pause time somewhere between [5] and
[7] (2½ to 3½ seconds). However, if your PC/PLC is sending real time status information, then it is generally
best to set pause time to [1] to achieve the fastest updates possible.
Note: The pause time setting is stored in EEPROM memory and survives power cycling the marquee.
3.1.11 Reset Marquee [CTRL-R]
Address Header Reset
CTRL-B A CTRL-R
02h 41h 12h
• Address Header – directs the command to the specified marquee. To send the command to a different
marquee, change the second character of the address header to the address of the marquee you wish to send
the command to. If you have disabled the addressing feature of the marquee, do not send the address header
section.
• Reset – instructs the 2800 to clear all recalled messages, clear the immediate message buffer, clear the lamp
test flag, invisible entry flag, and global flash flag.
The reset command clears any recalled stored messages and also clears the immediate message buffer, forcing
the marquee to display the default message.
Note: The reset command does not make the marquee “reboot”, it merely clears recalled messages and clears
the immediate message buffer. However there is a way to command the marquee to reboot, send the abort
command. See manual section 3.1.1.
