SOFTWARE COMMANDS Hex Command 10 Software Reset to power on state 11 Write Mode toggles overwrite / scroll Character 60H is used as a hexadecimal prefix, but can be displayed with a 12 Write Direction toggles increment / decrement repeat send. Column position X = 00H – 7FH. 13 Display On/Off. Data is retained Data is shown in hexadecimal and sent in binary. e.g. FFH = 11111111 Bin 14 Display Invert. Toggle negative image Address ‘adr’ = 00H - 1FH. Setting ‘adr’ to 00H activates all modules. 15 + xx Absolute Column Set from 00H – FFH The communication settings and address can be set using the three switches on the rear of the module. Default communication is Addr 00 - 9600,n,8,1 STD. 16 + xx Relative Column Set by 00H - FFH Choose between ‘STD’ (standard) and ‘WEB’ modes. In ‘WEB’ mode 20H and 17 + len + data Graphic Data Write 1 bytes per column, D7 top all codes below 10H are ignored. To send a SPACE, 5FH can be used.
