The 9/Series screen saver utility is designed to reduce the damage done to
the CRT from “burn in”. Burn in is the result of the same lines or
characters being displayed at the same location on the screen for a such a
long period of time that they leave a permanent imprint on the CRT.
After a preset length of time without any keyboard strokes, the screen
saver utility replaces the 9/Series display with a single horizontal line that
continuously scrolls from top to bottom on the CRT. This horizontal line is
a standard character high, green on color operator panels, amber on
monochrome.
When any operator panel key, PAL keyboard request, or softkey is pressed,
the display is returned to the last viewed 9/Series display. Exceptions are
screens accessed through hot keys on the keyboard (such as Display Select
or the PAL rung monitor). When the screen saver returns from one of
these screens, the 9/Series screen previous to the hot key selection is
displayed.
