Text Messaging Commands (Cont.)
Command
PMES1 - PMES4
Text Messaging -
Rotating Message Display
28
Description
ViewStat can store and display up to four messages on a rotating basis.
The text messaging display is a two-line, 16-character display. The first
character in the top line of the display is filled with the first character in the
text string of the command. The remainder of the character spaces are
filled across the top line and then down and across the bottom line. Blanks
(spaces) count as characters, and if there are not 32 characters in the
message, blank spaces will be appended to the end of the message. Each
message is displayed for 5 seconds, after which the next is displayed. If
the message is filled with nothing but blank characters (spaces), then the
message is skipped in the sequence. If only one message is available, it
will be permanently displayed, and if no messages (including date and
time) are available none will be displayed. The characters in the text string
are limited to alphanumeric characters either upper or lower case. Leaving
any one of the messages blank (i.e. no characters including spaces)
results in the default message being displayed.
