Issuing Commands

Commands are issued to the display by the micro-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;
