5. PROGRAMMING
SCREEN BLANK
Choices: NONE, RTS, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 seconds
This is the amount of time that the VSI-Pro Max text display will remain on-screen after a transaction before erasing or
blanking itself off (not the video picture, just the register transaction data) until the next transaction. If set for RTS, this
means when RTS input Pin 7 is connected to ground or low then the screen will display normally. If RTS is no connection
or high then the screen display will blank. This is done by sending the “Clear Screen” command one time so any new
Trigger Text or POS data will continue display until the RTS input is returned to zero and then back to high again. You can
not use the RTS for screen blank when using for Alarming or Trigger Text or might give conflicting results. See Page 58.
To change the SCREEN BLANK setting, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “SCREEN BLANK”
and press “SET”. The cursor will begin flashing. Press the “Up” or “Down” buttons to cycle through the selections.
Press “Set” when the desired time is displayed. The cursor will stop flashing and you may continue programming.
DISPLAY LINES
You have the choice of how many lines of text to display on-screen for register transactions. The choices are up to
11 lines.
To change the DISPLAY LINES setting, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “DISPLAY LINES” and
press “Set”. The cursor will begin flashing. Press the “Up” or “Down” buttons to cycle through the selections. Press
“Set” when the desired number is displayed. The cursor will stop flashing and you may continue programming.

 All register transaction data will scroll up regardless of the number of lines you choose to
display on-screen and the more lines you display on-screen, the greater the amount of time that the
transaction data will be recorded. However, some applications may limit the number of lines and the
size of the on-screen display. If you are using an on-screen title, it will occupy Line 1, leaving 10 lines
for the text insertion. If you enable the on-screen Time/Date then this takes one additional line also.
