command. The command byte value is &59.
3.3.1.2 FC
FC1 and FC 0 set the character cursor flash rate.
3.3.1.3 FP
Set the attributes of each screen. FP0 and FP1 are
the character screen. FP2 and FP3 are the graphics
layer, or screen. F P4 and FP5 are not used.
Setting a flash rate at 16 Hz does a poor job of a
half tone effect. A flash rate of 2 Hz does get
attention.
Command example be low sets the tex t layer to flash at a
2 Hz rate.
OUT &F9,&59
OUT &F8,10
This command turns on both the character and graphics
layer.
OUT &F9,&59
OUT &F8,&17
This is equivalent to executing a DISPLAY ON
command. Since text and graphics are or’ed (by
default), you will see both.
These commands turn off the blinking cursor.
OUT &F9,&59
OUT &F8,&14
Screen overlay
This command selects how screen are displayed. There
are two screens available. Layer 1 is character and layer
2 is graphics.
Pixels on each layer can be OR’ed, XOR’ed, AND ’ed,
and Priority-OR’ed. See Figure 44 in the SED1335
technical manual for more inform ation. By default, all
text and graphics are OR’ed.
Turn screens ON and OFF
The entire display, graphics, or small character screen
display is turned off (blanke d) by executing certain
comm ands. This is useful w hen you want to alternate
graphics and small character scr een displays.
DISPLAY OFF
blanks the display. It is turned on by executing
DISPLAY ON
NOTE: Display ON/OFF does not control its power.
See DISPLAY POWER ON/OFF below.
You can turn on or off graphics and character displays
by entering the appropriate letter after ON or OFF.
DISPLAY OFF G
turns off the graphics screen.
NOTE: The cursor will continue to blink even if you
turn off the display. Execute a CONFIG
DISPLAY 0,8,0 before writing to the display
to turn off the cursor . Y ou can manually
control the cursor and screens. See “Screen
flashing and screen ON/OF F” above.
Display power ON/OFF
The display can enter a power off mode ( the controller
manual calls it “Sleep In”). This mode shuts off the
controller signals. Bias power to the display is supposed
to be removed. However, it is not on the RPC-2350.
Bias power cannot be r emoved since is supplies power to
RS-232, analog input and outputs. Therefore, do not
enter a display power OFF mode.
Some power can be saved by turning off the LCD back
light. The ground lead must be connected to P2 terminal
marked “ SWPW R:. On/off control is performed by
executing the following command:
OUT &E7,1
To turn the inverter off, execute
OUT &E7,0
Display mapping
The following information is for programmers who
understand how the SED1335 chip works and want to
put it into modes not supported by CAMBASIC.
The following is the memory map sent to SCROLL
register in the SED1335. .
Layer 1 (character) SAD 1 &0000
Layer 2 (graphics) SAD 2 &2000
Layer 3 (graphics) SAD 3 &6000
SAD 4 &A 000
