Auto Clear

Auto clear controls whether the display clears after a message displays:

AUTO CLEAR? N

If you answer Yes, the DL20 clears the display after the message has been
displayed for the specified wait time. If you answer No, the last line or lines
of the message are displayed until replaced by another message.

Auto Repeat

Auto repeat allows a message to display repeatedly for an indefinite period of
time.

AUTO REPEAT? N

A message set to AUTO REPEAT continually retriggers itself after
completing its display. Auto repeat is inhibited if there are any pending
message triggers in the message queue. The queue will be explained later.
Auto repeat terminates if another message is triggered. If an auto repeat
message was called by another message in a message chain, the calling
message repeats, followed by the auto repeat message.

Note: Do not use auto repeat for messages with variables or in a background
message.
