Display command characters

Introduction

The display of a Discovery can be programmed from the back office system.

Several parameters can be programmed, e.g. message text and cursor position.

Two types of data are available to program the display.

1.

The first data type is the printable ASCII data. These characters are directly

printed on the display. These characters stand for the hexadecimal values $20 -

$7F (see the ASCII table in Appendix C).

2.

The second data type is the display command data. These characters are

preceded by the <ESC> character ($1B hexadecimal).

The display commands and characters are summarised in the tables on the next

pages.

Display programming examples

The following examples give an impression of the way you can program the

display of the Discovery. The commands described in the table in this section

should be typed as ASCII characters. For instance, the hexadecimal value $1B is

the <ESC>-key on your keyboard. Refer to the ASCII table in Appendix C to make

the conversion from a hexadecimal value to an ASCII value.
