10 Flashing modes and display attributes
The display can show the values to be displayed in a plurality of brightnesses and blinking patterns,
which are referred to as "display attribute".
For the initialization parameters, two blocks are defined: a block for 'standard attributes' (property
number 7), the other for 'out of range attributes' (property number 9). In each block the values 0%,
25%, 50% and 100% can be entered.
So, for example, the following typical display effects can be defined:

3/4

If the value '0%' is entered in all four fields, the display switches to a pulsating display. This prevents
an inadvertent dark switching.
In the case of displays with multicolor LEDs (red and green), the attribute for the red color is set with
the least significant byte and the attribute for the green color with the next higher byte. The meaning of
the bytes for red and green is identical.
With the same attributes for red and green the display shines orange. Diverse mixed colors, flashing
effects and color changing effects can be defined by different attributes, for example:
25% of the basic brightness, orange
16#5555
50% of the basic brightness, orange
16#AAAA
100% of the basic brightness, orange
16#FFFF
Slow flashing (off – on), red
16#000F
Slow inverse flashing (on – off), green
16#F000
Flashing red/green alternately
16#F00F
The dark switching is possible by the global 'property 0'. Here the decimal point of the least significant
decade flashes.
