Table 14: Example of an ASCII Table
The letter A has a value of 65 decimal or 41 hex
The letter a has a value of 97 decimal or 61 hex
The number 0 has a value of 48 decimal or 30 hex
The number 9 has a value of 57 decimal or 39 hex
This gives rise to the possibility of confusion when parameters are being set on the display. For example,
some commands use a [type] parameter to indicate a file type. We’re told that acceptable values are 0 and
5. All parameters must use numeric values (i.e., the actual byte values). If we send the ASCII number 0 by
mistake it will actually give the value 48 decimal (30 hex) to the parameter, which is wrong. In the tables
given in the following sections ASCII characters are shown as ’A’, with single quotes.
