Picture View By connecting a USB drive via one of the device’s USB ports, Picture View allows the MST-431 to access JPEG images on that drive and display them on the touchscreen. Individual images may be accessed at any time, or the entire collection may be displayed for predetermined times.
Picture View goes into its Normal Mode when the MST-431 goes into idle timeout while connected to a USB drive. Normal Mode displays images until the touchscreen is touched, or some other wakeup event is detected. When the device goes back into timeout, Normal Mode will return to displaying images until the USB drive is removed from the device.
