PRIVATE HOST COMMANDS
Introduction
As previously discussed, the ProMotion’s design allows a host to control its functions by
sending Escape commands. When set to Private mode, the ProMotion will recognize the
simple compact command set discussed in this chapter. For example, sending an
Esc H
(Hex
1B 48
) will move the cursor to the home position. A command summary appears at the end
of this chapter.
Note:
Do not use spaces between characters in Escape commands. Any spacing shown
for Escape commands in this chapter is for clarity only unless otherwise noted.
