“On”. The background will switch to black and the percentage color settings are now used to define the foreground color.

5.2.4.5 Demo Mode

The DSM250 has a demo mode suited for displaying the capabilities of the unit. It causes the DSM250 to operate in a “simulated data” mode, where the DSM250 will install a set of pre-defined favorite screens and other configuration and will then display only the internally generated simulated data and will ignore any data arriving over the NMEA 2000® bus. While in demo mode, the DSM250 will display a “Demo” indicator in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Programming this option to “On (Show Room Mode)” or “On (Boat Show Mode, No Auto Reset)” will cause the DSM250 to enter the demo mode while programming this option for “Off (Normal Use Mode)” will cause the DSM250 to return to using data from the NMEA 2000® bus.

In order to be able to demonstrate all of the DSM250’s capabilities, the unit allows the user to setup and configure different screens while in demo mode. However, in a show room environment and five minutes after the last button push (i.e., the customer has walked away the demo unit), the DSM250 will reset itself to the default screens. There are others times where it is important that the DSM250 doesn’t automatically reset after five minutes to the default screens, for example at a boat show where it is desired to show specific screens while running in the demo mode and thus the “Boat Show Mode”.

WARNING: All data displayed in demo mode is simulated. Do not use this data for vessel monitoring or navigation purposes.
