Display Settings - Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 6 User Manual

Display Settings

For the terminal display, you can adjust its intensity, view its temperature,
configure the screen saver, or enable/disable the screen cursor.
Adjust the Display Intensity
You can modify the intensity of the terminal backlight. You can use the default
intensity of 100% or you can change the intensity for runtime operations.
1. Press Terminal Settings>Display>Display Intensity.
2. Press Startup Intensity to switch between the Default intensity and the
Runtime intensity.
• If you select Runtime, the start-up screens use the runtime intensity.
• If you select Default, the start-up screens use the default setting, 100%
3. Increase or decrease the intensity for runtime operations, by pressing the
up or down arrow keys.
4. Press OK when done to save the intensity changes.
View the Display Temperature
To view the current temperature of the 700 to 1500 CCFL-displays only, press
Terminal Settings>Display>Display Temperature.
700 to 1500 terminals with a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight
require temperature control when the internal temperature of the product is
below 10 °C (50 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). If the internal temperature is:
• Below 10 °C (50 °F), the backlight is set to overdrive or the full-rated
current setting for at least five minutes. This increases heat generation
from the backlight.
• Above 60 °C (140 °F), the backlight is set to underdrive; 40% or less of full
brightness. This reduces heat generation from the backlight.
Temperature monitoring begins when the backlight turns on at startup or when
the screen saver is deactivated. The temperature control affects display intensity
only; it does not restrict the use or operation of the terminal.
When a low or high temperature condition is detected, an error is sent to the
system event log. If the temperature control is not functioning, a noncritical error
is sent to the system event log but the terminal continues to operate normally.
TIP Temperature control takes precedence over the application backlight settings.
