10 Software Reset to power on state
11 Write Mode toggles overwrite / scroll
12 Write Direction toggles increment / decrement
13 Display On/Off. Data is retained
14 Display Invert. Toggle negative image
15 + xx Absolute Column Set from 00H – FFH
16 + xx Relative Column Set by 00H - FFH
17 + len + data Graphic Data Write 1 bytes per column, D7 top
18 Clear Character Buffer with 21 ASCII spaces
19 + data Write to Character Buffer for display effect
1A + effect Fade, wipe, scroll, dissolve & character delay.
1C + macro + len + data Store Macro E0H – FFH in EEPROM
1D + delay Halt process for up to 3 seconds
1E + 1E + 1E + FE Clear Macros from EEPROM
1E + 1E + 1E + FF Stop Display and clear receive buffer
1E + 1E + 1E + adr Address Select 00H – 1FH for active module
1F Loop receive buffer
20 - DF Character Write ASCII font.
E0 - FF Run Macro – execute user defined macro
60 + dh + dl Send Hexadecimal code instead of binary

The user can send non printable command codes 10H-1FH as hexadecimal by
prefixing the code using character 60H. Example: `15`3F = Position column 64.
When 1FH is sent, the commands/data in the communication buffer (max 192 bytes)
are executed until ‘Stop Display’ is issued. Example: 10H --- data --- 1FH.
Macro E0 is run at power on unless cleared.

CHAR ACTER SET - 5X7 Font

Character 60H is used as a hexadecimal prefix, but can be displayed with a
repeat send. Column position X = 00H – 7FH.
Data is shown in hexadecimal and sent in binary. e.g. FFH = 11111111 Bin

ddress ‘adr’ = 00H - 1FH. Setting ‘adr’ to 00H activates all modules.
The communication settings and address can be set using the three switches on
the rear of the module. Default communication is Addr 00 - 9600,n,8,1 STD.
Choose between ‘STD’ (standard) and ‘WEB’ modes. In ‘WEB’ mode 20H and
all codes below 10H are ignored. To send a SPACE, 5FH can be used. All codes
are accepted when sent using hexadecimal. Select ‘W EB’ mode when using the
display with the Noritake Message Creator software.
