The timing of the flashing is the same for all elements.
Both text (page 98) and mark (page 103) fixed displays will overlap each other in
accordance with the order in which they were created. However, the way in
which they overlap can be changed with the Support Tool.
These are character strings that are continually displayed as a fixed display.
Standard, flash, and inverse flash displays are possible (inverse display can be
specified by exchanging the foreground color and background color of the char-
acter string).
Since the order of display will always follow the order in which the elements are
created with the Support Tool (character strings created later will overlay others
created earlier), the order of creation must be considered when character
strings are going to overlap.
Alphanumerics and symbols can be displayed.

the number of characters or scale size.
