‘F’ : Force all displays to address ‘1’ (return to factory settings).

‘A’ : Send ASCII to display. An easy way of displaying figures 0 to 9
Simply send their ASCII value. ( 32ascii blanks the display, 0 = 48ascii, 9 = 57ascii).

‘P’ : Decimal point control. Parameter 255 turns the decimal point on, parameter 0 turns it off. Decimal
point remains on until it has been forced off.

‘I’ : Brightness control. Parameter 255 set the display to ‘dim’, parameter 0 sets the display to ‘bright’.

Remark : For best results, we recommend to send the command string at least three times a row. When the
brightness is set to dim, it is recommended to send the string at least 4 times to make sure all displays are
updated.
Furthermore, we recommend a delay of at least 100ms between sending a command and sending the
‘Strobe’-command.
