before the screen saver starts.

minimum and maximum values for this command are 500 and 600000, respectively.

8.153. SSTEXT -- Set Text to be Displayed by Screen Saver
This command sets or queries the text messages displayed by the screen saver. The arguments of this
command are the screen number, the line number, and the text to be displayed. The screen number must be
between 0 and 3. It indicates which message screen we are trying to set or query. Each message screen
consists of two lines of text that can be up to 16 characters long. The second number indicates which line of
the message we are tring to set or query. The line number must be 0 or 1 corresponding to the first and
second line, respectively. Finally, the text argument is the actual text that will be displayed on the LCD. If the
text is '?', then a query will be performed. If the text empty, then the message will be cleared. If both
message lines are cleared for a given screen, then that screen will not be displayed by the screen saver. If all
screens have been cleared, then the screen saver will never start (although it is easier just to use the
SSEN
command for this).
This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command will be
restored after power-up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power-on preset.
