Almost Full Almost Empty
Almost Full Almost Empty
Almost Full Almost Empty v8.0
Enables simple flow control. The display will return a single, Xoff, byte to the host when the display buffer is
almost full and a different, Xon, byte when the buffer is almost empty. Full value should provide enough room for
the largest data packet to be received without buffer overflow. No data should be sent to the display between full
and empty responses to permit processing. Buffer size is 256
* bytes. Not available in I
2
C. Default off.
Almost Full Byte Number of bytes remaining before buffer is completely full, 0 < Full < Empty < 256 * .
Almost Empty Byte Number of bytes before buffer can be considered empty enough to accept data.
*Note: Buffer size was increased to 256 bytes from 128 bytes at firmware revision 8.3.

Xon Xoff
Xon Xoff
Xon Xoff v8.0
Sets the values returned for almost full and almost empty messages when in flow control mode. This command
permits the display to utilize standard flow control values of 0x11 and 0x13, note that defaults are 0xFF and 0xFE.
Xon Byte Value returned when display buffer is almost empty, permitting transmission to resume.
Xoff Byte Value returned when display buffer is almost full, signaling transmission to halt.

Length Data v8.3
Send data to the display that it will echo. Useful to confirm communication or return information from scripts.
Length Short Length of data array to be echoed.
Data Byte(s) An arbitrary array of data that the module will return.
Response Byte(s) The same arbitrary array of data originally sent.

v8.4
Reset the display as if power had been cycled via a software command. No commands should be sent while the
unit is in the process of resetting; a response will be returned to indicate the unit has successfully been reset.
Response Short Successful reset response, 254 212.
