, click
Default
Project
in
Step 4
above. Each SPLCD Model features an eight source layout that has been configured for use
with common MRC88 applications and is already setup for MRC88 Emulation. The Button Names (Captions)
can be changed if the Sources and Functions in your system are a little different than the default and these
Default Projects can be modified for any feature or function that can normally be programmed to a SPLCD.
Depending upon the modifications needed to match a Default Project to what you are designing, various
sections of this manual will be helpful in making those changes. Review the Table of Contents for a list of topics
that may apply. The first two sections to review for finishing a Default Project are Sections:
Appendix: MRC88
Emulation Mode: Feature Description & Programming
and
Auto-fill
.
