Message ticking
You can configure message text lines to tick or not tick. Two types of message ticking exist:
• Character by character
• Line by line
Messages that tick character by character scroll off the characters of the message line one
character at a time to the left with the additional characters scrolling in one at a time from the
right. The time interval for the tick is specified by the TickTime message text setting.
Messages that tick line by line scroll one half of the message off the display to the left with the
second half of the message scrolling in from the right. The time interval for the tick is ten times
the TickTime parameter. The two halves of the message simply alternate on the IDEC
SmartRelayonboard display or FL1F-RD1.
Example: tick message character by character
The following illustration shows a one-line, 24-character message text:

on the IDEC SmartRelayonboard display or FL1F-RD1:
Example: tick message line by line

left half of the message as shown in this illustration:
