8.2 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, commands are shown
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 USB, at the currently defined baud rate.
For example (using a BASIC setup), the user could issue the command to clear the screen on the display
by including the line;
