Here it is. Notice, that every text is written twice.

Yes I see two table with small difference. Why is two table?

I guess I need to change the second table. I think I understood the format of the table. Second table start at 42AFE with two 20h character (space) followed by the text STOP and another two 20h character (space)

20 20 53 54 4F 50 20 20 space space STOP space space = length 8
1 1 4 1 1 = 8

The next two characters (20h - space) are the separators. Format of the table looks like this:

[VFD text max 8 char][separator (20h)][separator (20h)][VFD text max 8 char][separator (20h)][separator (20h)][VFD text max 8 char][separator (20h)][separator (20h)]...

Table ends at 42CE7 with value 20h (last two bytes are separators not spaces). Total length of the second table is 490 bytes.

Note that due to centering text on the VFD the text begins with a space (20h) or more of space chars:

__STOP__ two space before and two after text or
_REGION_ one space before and one after text or
_CLOSE__ one space before and two after text...

Yes you are right, as I remember it is alawys up to 8 chars in each message.

I do not know why it has to be doubled.

[!NoWorries]

You only need to chnage the text in the second table.
The first table is for displays that will show 10 chars, like DV-575!

Thanks for the info about first table.
