A brief listing of the available commands and their description follows. Text mode operation is not true text mode, but rather simulated in graphics mode. Text and graphics may be mixed on the same screen. HEX CODE NUMBER OF BYTES 00 to 06 07 TEXT FUNCTIONS NO FUNCTION 2 SET BRIGHTNESS. Sets brightness of display. Valid values are 0 to F. Default value is 8. 08 1 BACK SPACE CURSOR: Moves the cursor 1 column to the left in the current row. If the cursor is at the 1st column it will move to the end of the previous line. 09 1 HORIZONTAL TAB: Moves the cursor 1 column to the right. Will wrap around until the end of the screen. If mode is set to SCROLL then the screen will scroll up one line at the last character position of the last row, if not in SCROLL mode then the cursor will wrap to the HOME position. 0A 1 LINE FEED: Moves cursor down one row while remaining in same column position. If mode is set to SCROLL, when the cursor is at bottom row of screen, the screen will move (scroll) up 1 row and bottom row will be cleared (filled with spaces), when line feed is invoked. If not in SCROLL mode the cursor will wrap to the first row. 0B 1 VERTICAL TAB: Moves cursor up one row while remaining in the same column position. The cursor will wrap to the bottom row after the top row. 0C 1 CLEAR SCREEN: Fill the screen with blank characters, cursor moves to HOME position. 0D 1 CARRIAGE RETURN: Moves cursor to the first column of the present row. 0E 1 HOME CURSOR: Moves cursor to the 1st character position of the 1st row, the HOME position. 0F NO OPERATION 10 NO OPERATION 11 12 3 POSITION CURSOR: Moves cursor to a specified column, row address depending upon next 2 bytes sent. The format is x, y, or col, row. The upper left corner is 0, 0. 2 SELECT CURSOR: Following byte selects cursor style: 01 = blinking underbar (1) 02 = non-blinking underbar 03 = blinking block 04 = non-display cursor 13 NO OPERATION 14 2 SELECT CHARACTER FONT: Following byte selects one of 4 character generator fonts: 01h = font 1: 4 x 5 character in 5 x 6 block 02h = font 2: 5 x 7 character in 6 x 8 block (1) 03h = font 3: 10 x 14 character in 12 x 16 block The cursor is moved to the home position when changing fonts. 15 1 Select reverse video overwrite mode (black on orange). Also see command (19h). 16 NO OPERATION 17 NO OPERATION 18 19 NO OPERATION 1 Select normal video overwrite mode (orange on black). Also see command (15h). (1) 1A RESERVED, do not use 1B See ESCAPE control codes 1C 1 SET TO SCROLL MODE: Sets the display mode so that whenever the cursor reaches the last position in the last column or a line feed occurs while cursor is on last row, the screen will scroll up one row. The top row of data will be lost and the bottom row of the display will be erased. 1D 1 SET TO AUTO WRAP MODE: In this mode, the cursor will automatically wrap around to the next row. When the last character position on the screen is reached, the cursor will return to HOME position. (1) 1E 1 BLANK DISPLAY: The display is blanked, but display memory is maintained and new data can be entered. 1F 1 UNBLANK DISPLAY: The display is restored/turned to active state.

The upper left hand corner is 000,000 (X, Y) while the lower right hand corner is 127, 063 (X, Y). The cursor auto-increments based upon the character font size by the width of the font. The cursor is not visible in graphic logic. WRITE LOGIC - Within most commands, the WRITE LOGIC byte must be included: 0 = SET PIXELS (turn-on foreground pixels) 1 = XOR PIXELS (invert foreground pixels) 2 = RESET PIXELS (turn-off foreground pixels) 3 = OVERWRITE (turn-on foreground and turn-off back ground pixels, image write and graphic text commands only) 4 = REVERSE VIDEO OVERWRITE (turn-off foreground and turn-on background pixels, image write and graphic text commands only) FONT SIZE The FONT SIZE must be written before text is written. There are three standard fonts included in the graphics mode: 1 = FONT 1, a 4 x 5 character in a 5 x 6 block 2 = FONT 2, a 5 x 7 character in a 6 x 8 block 3 = FONT 3, a 10 x 14 character in a 12 x 16 block Refer to character set tables for supported characters and fonts. Note • The LOGIC byte and FONT byte are sent in ASCII format. DATA FORMAT All addresses must be sent in ASCII format. Column and row positions begin at the upper left hand corner at address 000, 000 (X, Y). A pixel address consists of a column address followed by row address. Addresses are sent to the panel as a three character ASCII sequence for column (x) followed by a three character ASCII sequence for row (y). An example is the upper left hand pixel is 000, 000 while the lower right hand corner is 127, 063. Note • Spaces are shown in the graphic sequences only for clarity and must not occur in the actual commands transmitted to the panel. GRAPHIC COMMANDS HEX CODE GRAPHIC FUNCTIONS 1B, 41 FILL AREA: Logic byte, X1, Y1 (upper left corner), X2, Y2 (lower right corner) ESC A l xxx yyy xxx yyy 1B, 42 DRAW BOX: Logic byte, X1, Y1 (upper left hand corner), X2, Y2 (lower right hand corner) ESC B l xxx yyy xxx yyy 1B, 43 CLEAR SCREEN: This command will clear the current graphic screen (all pixels off). To clear all graphics pages, see the ESC G sequence. ESC C 1B, 44 SET PIXEL (DOT) COMMAND: Logic byte (l), x, y pixel address, end of data delimiter. ESC D l xxx yyy ESC \ (single pixel) ESC D l xxx yyy xxx yyy ....... ESC \ (continous) 1B, 45 DRAW ELLIPSE: Logic byte, major axis intercept offset, minor axis intercept offset (axis’s intercept offset is measured in pixels from the center point), center point, from angle theta (t), in degrees, to phi (p). A complete rotation would be from 001 to 360. ESC E l mmm www xxx yyy ttt ppp 1B, 47 Clear all graphics pages: ESC G 1B, 49 WRITE GRAPHIC IMAGE: Logic byte, X1, Y1 (upper left hand corner), X2, Y2 (width and height), data. ESC I I xxx yyy xxx yyy ddd .... X1 start coordinate and X2 width must both be multiples of 8. The number of data bytes transmitted must be equal to (X2 width/8) x Y2 height. The first data byte transmitted will map into the 8 pixels on the top line in the upper left hand corner of the image with the least significant bit at the left and the most significant bit at the right. Successive bytes will write to the next byte to the right. When all bytes are written for this line, the next byte will map into the left most byte of the next line down.

ESC J xxx yyy xxx yyy Graphic image information is returned by the display after receipt of this command. X1 start coordinate and X2 width must both be multiples of 8. Refer to the WRITE GRAPHIC IMAGE command for the data format returned by the display. 1B, 4C DRAW LINE(S): Logic byte, X1, Y1 (beginning of line), X2, Y2 (end of line), data delimiter (for single lines) ESC L l xxx yyy xxx yyy ESC \ (for continuous lines) ESC L l xxx yyy xxx yyy ..... xxx yyy ESC \ 1B, 54 TEXT WRITE: Logic byte (I), font byte (f), x, y starting address, ASCII text, data delimiter. Wrap around will occur. ESC T I f xxx yyy aaaa ... aaaa ESC \ UPLOAD CUSTOM CHARACTER: Font, data ESC U f ddd... The custom character becomes ASCII value FFh and replaces any character which may be mapped at that location. One custom character is allowed for each font. To restore the original default character mapped at location FFh, upload a blank character where all data bytes are zero. To use multiple custom characters in a single font, upload new data as needed. Custom characters previously printed to the screen will not change when a new character is loaded. The number of data bytes is dependant on the font: 1B, 55 FONT NUMBER OF DATA BYTES WIDTH HEIGHT 1 6 5 bits 6 lines 2 8 6 bits 8 lines (1 byte/line) 3 32 12 bits 16 lines (2 bytes/line) (1 byte/line) For fonts 1 and 2, each byte represents a character line. The first byte is the top line of the character. Subsequent bytes map each line of the character. Typically, the right column and the bottom row of a character are blank for spaces between characters. For font 3, two bytes (a word value) are required to represent each character line. The first byte represents the left part of the character, the second byte represents the right part of the character. The first word value is the top line of the character, subsequent words map each line of the character. Typically, the left and right columns and top and bottom rows of a character are blank for spaces between characters.
