3.3 Message Text Enhancements
Text enhancements are character sequences that are embedded in a message to modify the way in which the
message is presented on the marquee.

The insert data feature allows the insertion of variable data into an EEPROM stored message. Embed a
[CTRL-D][n] sequence within the stored message text. The [n] character specifies which of the nine insert
data buffers to insert into the message, and may range from [1] to [9]. When the message is displayed on the
marquee, the [CTRL-D][n] characters are replaced by the contents of the specified insert data buffer.

2 – enter variable data. [CTRL-B][A][ESC][15 Cars][CTRL-E]

3.3.2 Flash Toggle [CTRL-F]
To make a word or phrase in any message flash, surround the word or phrase with [Control-F] characters. It
is important to always use [Control-F] characters in pairs. One to turn flashing on, and one to turn flashing
back off.

sequence instructs the marquee to display text in a two inch tall font, on the top half of the marquee. A
[Control-Z][2] sequence instructs the marquee to display text in a two inch tall font, on the bottom half of the
marquee. A [Control-Z][0] sequence instructs the marquee to display text in a four inch tall font, in the
center of the marquee.
The following command makes the marquee display the text “2800” in a four inch font, the text “Top” in a two inch
