#### TD-116 Formattable Text Display

![View of the Formattable Text Display](TD.png "Formattable Text Display")

## Basic Operation

The TD-116 is a text display on which you can make notes or put text into the visuals of your rack. Similar to the Fundamental Notes module, the TD-116 also allows you to control the text and background colors, and also the text size. The standard text size is not easy to read in a You-Tube video, so a larger size is sometimes useful for demonstrations.

The TD-116 features [Torpedo](https://github.com/david-c14/Torpedo) input and ouput ports. Changes to the text are sent through the output port, which allows you to capture the text in any suitable Torpedo device. 

Text or formatting information can be sent into the TD-116 through the Torpedo input port, allowing you to change the text or formatting programmatically.

The [TF-101](TF.md) is a suitable device to control the formatting.
