Auto-scrolling 
The DT80 may also be configured to automatically scroll through the channel display screens. This is useful in 
applications where the DT80 is mounted behind a glass panel – the display is visible but the keypad is inaccessible. 
To enable auto-scroll set the following profile: 
PROFILE DISPLAY AUTOSCROLL_INTERVAL=10S 
which in this case will automatically switch between channel display screens every 10 seconds. If this profile is set to 0 
then auto-scroll is disabled. 
Pressing a key on the keypad while auto-scroll is active will temporarily suspend auto-scroll and allow you to manually 
navigate through the screens. By default, auto-scroll will resume (if it is enabled) 30 seconds after the last key press. 
This time can be changed using: 
  PROFILE DISPLAY AUTOSCROLL_DELAY=1M 
which in this case will wait one minute before resuming auto-scroll. 
Auto-acknowledge 
In applications where the keypad is inaccessible, the following profile can be set to automatically acknowledge (clear) 
any pop-up messages after a period of time: 
  PROFILE DISPLAY AUTOACK_DELAY=1M 
Set to 0 to disable this feature. 
Pop-up Messages 
The display may also show temporary status screens, such as.

 Run ONINSERT? 
This is displayed briefly following insertion of a USB memory device that contains an 
ONINSERT.DXC file. Press OK/Edit to allow the file to execute (which is the default), or press any 
other key to skip execution of the file. 
Enter SIM PIN: 
123█  
For models with an integrated modem, this screen will be displayed if the inserted SIM card has a 
PIN set. Use the Up and Down keys to change the value of each digit, and use the Left and Right 
keys to select the digit to edit. Press OK/Edit when done. 
Display Backlight 
The display backlight will normally only stay on for 30 seconds after the last key press. The actual period that the 
backlight stays on for after a key press is controlled by P17 in seconds. 
Parameters 
P20 (P260) can be used to further control the operation of the backlight, for example setting P20=0 will 
cause the backlight to be always off, while 
P20=1 will leave the backlight always on (except while the logger is 
sleeping).
