Notes

This command behaves as if the following commands were received by the display:

<AF0>

Active frame = 0

<VF0>

Visible frame = 0

<F1>

Small font 8 x 6 Pixels

<CS>

Clear Screen

<HC>

Cursor homed

<WM0>

Normal text

<RM>

Row Mode

<IF>

Inhibit Flashing

<ST>

Text Steady attribute

<NA>

No Text Alignment or Wrap

<BM0>

Background Mode = 0

<NU>

No Underline

As a consequence, the screen is cleared, window definitions are removed, display scrolling is turned
off and key press data cleared

Uses

The <SD> command allows:

•

A known starting point for the creation of each screen

Example

<SD>

Set Screen defaults

<CM7,0>

Move cursor to the lower left of the display
