change in address is immediate. This address is 0x50 by default, and is reset temporarily back to that value

when the ’manual over-ride’ jumper is used on power up.

6.1.12 Read module type (254 55)

This command will return a 1 byte hex value, over the RS-232 interface only, the model type value of

the module. Values for various modules at the time of this publication are as follows:

6.1.13 Set RS-232 port speed (254 57 [speed]) (R)

This command sets the display’s RS-232 port to the specified [speed]. The change takes place immedi-

ately. [speed] is a single byte specifying the desired port speed. Valid speeds are shown in the table below.

The display can be manually reset to 19,200 baud in the event of an error during transmission (including

transmitting a value not listed below) by setting the ‘manual over-ride’ jumper on the display controller

board during power up. This command is ignored until this jumper is removed again.

6.1.14 Set Serial Number (254 52 [byte1] [byte2])

Modules may be delivered with the serial number blank. In this case the user may set the desired 2 byte

serial number using this one time only command.

Upon the execution of this command, the module will echo these two bytes back over the RS-232 inter-

face. The serial number may be set only once. Any future attempt to execute this command will result in no

change and the module will return to the originally set serial number.
