VK204-25 ?

Post by kfaria »

Hello....

There may be an error in the manual:
VK204-25_rev_20.pdf
Unless I'm totally reading it wrong....
As it is the weakend, I do not have a unit in front of me to verify it.
Just looking over the code / manual and found a couple of anomalies.
Will triple check on Monday.

Hello Kurt,

Please accept my apologoes for the mistake in the manual, we are getting it rectified as we speak. Here are the brightness levels on the VFD's:

0x00 - 100 %
0x01 - 75%
0x02 - 50%
0x03 - 25%

The factory default of 255 puts the display at 0x00 brightness value (100%)

Regarding auto scroll off, please have a look at PCN 2006-08-24-08 under Firmware Changes #2

I hope that these answer your questions. Very glad to hear that you are happy with our displays. :D
