6 Appendix: Command Summary
6.1 General
The operation of the display is controlled by a simple and consistent command set.
Commands control;
• Text display
• Graphics
• Display keypad interface
• Miscellaneous operating parameters
This chapter includes summary tables of all commands.
6.2 Issuing Commands
Commands are issued to the display by the controller. In a test setup, commands can be issued to
the display by means of a BASIC program, using the chr$( ) function. In the tables below, we’ve shown
commands in hex, ASCII and decimal form. All commands begin with the prefix character 0xFE (254
decimal). These commands are issued on the serial communications link (I
2
C or RS-232) at the currently
defined baud rate.
For example (using BASIC in a test setup), the user could issue the command to clear the screen on the
display by including the line;
in the BASIC program.
