Screens
Displaying data on the screens is a two-stage process. The first stage is to set the desired screen
layout by choosing a template. The second stage is to send a series of properties to tell the
device what to draw on the screens.
There are three types of properties that can be set on a screen: colour, text and value. The
properties depend on the current layout and are specified in the ‘Change Layout’ section.
The screens underneath the rotary knobs should be considered as eight columns with indices 0-7.
It is not possible to change the layout for an individual column and all columns are changed
together.
The rightmost screen, which is in the centre of the device, should be considered to have an
independent layout (see ‘Centre Screen Layout’). The centre screen can be addressed by updating
column 8.
Changing layout removes all properties that have been previously set for all columns except the
centre screen.
Change Layout
To change the screen layout, t h e 'Set Screen Layout' command needs to b e s e n t , followed by the
index of the new layout.
