Control LiveText

LEDVIZ receives LiveText data on a continuously open UDP port. Each message starts with # followed by the tag name. A pipe character | separates the name from the new content.

#TAG1|Hello world!
Setting Value
Protocol UDP
Port 28077
Character encoding UTF-8
Message format #TAGNAME|Text

A received LiveText value is forwarded directly to the output, and the layer updates immediately. You can change the content repeatedly while it is being displayed.
