Display Timeout

xrmichael

Does anyone know of a way to alter the display timeout via code, i can nudge it up and down via the setup port but want to set it to a certain value from code, when user is in picture frame mode set to 0 then back again.

Michael.

Also does anyone know what the advanced setup codes picture control do ? they are not listed in the help file.

How about the following?

define_program
if(bPictureFrameMode){
 wait 500 'keep panel awake'
  send_command dvTp,'WAKE'
}

Every 50 seconds this will reset the panels sleep countdown timer, causing it to never sleep. I choose 50 seconds since the minimum sleep time of the panel is one minute. I do this when our systems are in "running" state, but allow the panels to sleep when in "standby" state.

Thanks

Thanks for the fast reply that should sort it out with minimum fuss, and if the panel drops off line it will also shut the display down after timeout.

Cheers Michael

The latest release (v2.86.x) of some of the panels (8400/7500/cv7/cv10/1000vi/700vi/12"/15"/17") has a new ^DTO and ?DTO command that you can set/query the display timeout value. Check the Operations/Reference Guide for those panels for details. This command will be added for future releases of other panels.
