Horizontal Scrolling
Each message, recipe, alarm, or menu screen can have a single line of up to 128
characters that scrolls horizontally. The scrolling line travels at the rate of two characters
per second starting with a blank line and scrolling from the right side of the display. This
line can be used to get the attention of the OIT operator, or to display a string of text that
is longer than the number of characters in the display.
To add a scrolling line to a screen:
1. In the Special Effects group box, select the Enable? check box.
2. In the Special Effects group box, choose the Editor button. The Single Line Scroll
Editor dialog box appears.
3. In the Location group box, select the line number that you want to scroll.
4. In the Text group box, type the string of text that you want to scroll.
NOTE: To delete the string of text from the Text group box, choose the garbage can button.
To insert characters from the extended character set, from the Edit menu, choose Insert
Special Character. The Insert Special Characters dialog box appears. For instructions on
using this dialog box, refer to the Special Characters section in this chapter.
