lines defined cannot exceed the height of the screen.
The total height of the screen is 240 pixels. A small font is 16 pixels tall, a medium font is 24 pixels tall and
a large font is 32 pixels tall.
If you define 2 lines with small fonts, 2 lines with medium fonts and 2 lines with large fonts you will be
using (2x16)+(2x24)+(2x32)=144 pixels out of a maximum of 240 pixels. The top 144 pixels of the display
will be used, the bottom 96 pixels will be divided into 6 lines (96/16=6) of small font..
If you attempt to define a combination of fonts that exceeds 240 pixels total, a ? will be returned to the host
for invalid command.
Here are some more examples:
@C\E1
will clear the screen and set the default colors to WHITE text on a BLACK background. In concept, @C\E1
is the same as @C0\E1; however, @C0\E1 is an invalid command. The change of user colors is always
embedded in a Clear Screen Command.
@CS1M3L1S1L2\BE
will clear the screen and set the first line to be small font, the next 3 lines to be medium font, the next line to
be large font, the next line to be small font and the last two lines to be large font with RED text on a WHITE
background for all lines. The total height of the lines will be (1x16)+(3x24)+(1x32)+(1x16)+(2x32)=200
pixels:
this is line 1
this is line 2
this is line 3
this is line 4
this is line 5
this is line 6
this is line 7
this is line 8
The active colors change whenever \cb is received in a prompt. The user default will be used to display all
the prompts unless \cb changes the colors. All prompts will start with the user default. The active colors
from the last prompt will NOT be carried over to the next prompt.
Prompts Display Programming
A typical “prompt” command sequence follows the format below:
