6.1.2.  eMagin Software Command Set 

 

TABLE 6-1 COMMAND SET LIST FOR ADDRESSING THE MICRODISPLAY 

REGISTERS 

 

Command 

Description 

Adjust the COMMON (Cathode) voltage  
Usage: CX where X = 0 to 255 

Read all 27 Microdisplay Registers. 
Usage: R  Returns 27 register values 

Send a register address 
Usage: GX where X = 0 to 27 

Send a data value to the Interface & Design Reference Kit 
Usage: DX where X = 0 to 255 

Write a register 
Usage: W 
Note: The W command is preceded by a GX DY command  

Read the temperature sensor value 
Usage: T  Returns a value 

Adjust the microdisplay brightness 
Usage: UX where X = 0 to 255 

Returns the Brightness and COMMON (Cathode)  level values 
Usage: S Returns two values, brightness first then COMMON 

Returns the firmware version number. 
Usage: V  Returns a value 

 

Note: 

The commands and values are typically generated from a control program. The values are 

sent in binary format to the Interface & Design Reference Kit microcontroller, which will process 
these natively in binary. Below is an example write instance using the provided software: 

 
 

In order to write the decimal value 81 to register 3, the following 

commands need to be issued: G3D81W 

 

No space is required between the commands 

 

Figure 6-2 Example microdisplay register value write using included software 

 
 

6.2. Using Hyperterminal With the Interface & Design Reference Kit 

 

If you will use Hyperterminal to control the Interface & Design Reference Kit please note that 
Hyperterminal converts all input data to ASCII characters. Therefore, the X value mentioned in 
the table above needs first to be converted to its ASCII equivalent in order to be recognized by the 
Interface & Design Reference Kit firmware. Received information will also be displayed as ASCII 
code. An ASCII to decimal (or hexadecimal) conversion must be performed to read the correct 
values sent via the serial interface. We have provided an example write instance and ASCII 
character table for your reference.
