Identification and Tally Settings
The Identify flag is transient, and will cause a white border to be displayed around the entire picture
for a duration of 15 seconds, after which it will be reset. This feature is primarily aimed at identifying
which monitor is currently being configured when it is mounted in a rack comprising multiple units.
To turn on:
MONITOR A: ↵
Identify: true ↵
↵
The IDENTIFY border will temporarily override any other border setting in effect.
The BORDER property can be used to programmatically set the soft Tally colored borders to one
of the primary colors: RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE or NONE. This setting can be overridden by the
electrical Tally signals at the DB-9 input on the device itself. For example, to set the soft Tally to green:
MONITOR B: ↵
Border: green ↵
↵
The hard wired tally will always override the soft tally. The full state report will always show the
current valid border.

On SmartScope Duo 4K, each monitor can be set to display a different scope. The values for
activating specific scopes are mapped as follows:
