Times wer e calculated in CAMBASIC by dividing
executing time by the number of loops. General

Times shown are what it took to execute the entire
DISPLA Y comm and.
Reverse medium and large characters does not add a
significant amount of time.
EL DISPLAY
An EL display from Planar (Model EL320. 240.36) may
be connected to the RPC-2350G. + 5V and + 12V power
must be available. + 12V is connected to P2, “ELPWR”
pin. + 5V is taken from the board.
+ 12V m ay also be use d to supply the bo ard. Simply
connect “ ELP WR” on P2 to “ 7-30V” on P2. Install
jumper W8.
To use your own + 5V supply, connect it to the “+ 5V”
pin on P2. M ake sure jumper W 8 is removed. Do not
connect “EL PWR” to any other pin on P2.
The EL display has very fast pixel on/off time.
Conseq uently, sparkle is m ore notice able even w hen it is
off (default). Sparkle is m ore notice able whe n an are a is
illuminated.
