3: Host Command Set
Command Format
All received data that does not correspond to one of the defined commands will
be interpreted as raw text and will appear on the LCD.
Commands have the general form:
PREFIX, COMMAND_TYPE, <PARAMS>
Where:
o
PREFIX
– Byte that indicates a command follows. The default value is ‘@’ (0x40).
o
COMMAND_TYPE
– A byte that indicates what the command is.
o
<PARAMS>
– Zero or more bytes which set the operating conditions of the unit.
Each command has a pre-determined parameter set. See the command
information on the pages that follow.
All of the following command examples assume the default command prefix. If
the command prefix has been changed, substitute the active prefix.
To send a command prefix to the LCD, simply send it twice in a row. Therefore,
to display an @ symbol, transmit @@ to the MiniTerm.
In addition to the commands in the table, the MiniTerm also supports ASCII:
o
BEL 0x07 = beep
o
BS
0x08 = LCD backspace
o
CR
0x0D = LCD carriage return
o
LF
0x0A = LCD line feed
CR “homes” the cursor to the start of the current line. LF clears the LCD.
