Display Options

Use the following control codes to control the appearance of messages
displayed in PV Mode.

[Ctrl][F]

(06 hex)

Flash command. Send the [Ctrl][F] command when you want the display
characters to flash. Following the first flash code, all the characters on the
display will flash. If a second [Ctrl][F] is received, the display stops
flashing. At the start of each new line of message text, the flash option is
turned off.

[Ctrl][J]

(0A hex)

Line Feed command. Send a [Ctrl][J] command to move the cursor down to
the next lower line. If the cursor is on the last line, it remains on the last line
and all of the lines are shifted up (leaving the last line blank).

Note: The cursor is not moved until the next displayable character is
received. This allows the current text to be displayed for the longest period
of time before being shifted or cleared.

[Ctrl][L]

(0C hex)

Form feed command. Sending a [Ctrl][L] command clears the display and
moves the cursor to the upper left corner of the display. Flash mode is set to
non-flashing.

[Ctrl][M]

(0D hex)

Carriage return command. Sending the [Ctrl][M] command terminates the
current message line, sets the flash mode to non-flashing, and moves the
cursor to the beginning of the current line.

If Auto New Line is enabled (see Chapter 2), the cursor is also moved down
to the start of the next line. If the cursor is on the last line, all of the lines are
shifted up (leaving the last line blank).

Note: The cursor is not moved until the next displayable character is
received. This allows the current text to be displayed for the longest period
of time before being shifted or cleared.
