Power Up Instructions Sequence
Upon power up, the Daystar Nova module is set to a default mode of operation. Under some power up
circumstances, the default mode may be improperly set. Consequently, the following instructions should
always be executed in the host systems initialization routine.

Instructions Affecting the Relationship of Display Position, Cursor, and DD RAM Address
The DD RAM contains the 8 bit character codes of the 40 characters displayed on the Daystar Nova LCD. The
Cursor or Display Shift instruction and the Write to DD RAM and Entry Mode instructions affect the relationship
between DD RAM address and display position. Figures 6 to 10 illustrate the effects of these instructions.
