Display Options Use the following control codes in the message text for flash and reset
functions. Any other control codes are ignored.
[Ctrl][F]
Control-F (06 hex) is the flash code. Send this code when you want all the
characters on the line to flash. The [Ctrl][F] code can appear anywhere in
the text portion of the message. You can turn flash on and off multiple
times in a message. At the start of each new line of message text, the flash
option is turned off. The [Ctrl][F] code is not included in the 16 character
limit of the display protocol.
[Ctrl][R]
Control-R (12 hex) is the reset command. When a [Ctrl][R] is received by
the DL5, all data for the current line is discarded. For example, if 10
characters are received by the DL5 Slave and then a [Ctrl][R] is sent, the 10
characters and the [Ctrl][R] are discarded. After using the reset command,
you can start a new message. [Ctrl][R] resets the flash status to
non-flashing.
