Use the Send_Commands listed in the table below to program the NXP-CPI16.

Send_Commands

BMODE	Syntax:
Configures either	‘BMODE <bargraph #> <bargraph mode>’
set of 8 outputs as	Variables:
an 8-segment bar-
	Where <bargraph #>
graph display.
	1	- Selects bargraph 1 (outputs 1 - 8)
	2	- Selects bargraph 2 (outputs 9 - 16)
	Where <bargraph mode>
	0	- normal bar mode
	1	- normal dot mode (only one peak LED on at a time)
	2	- special bar mode (a level of 1 - 15 still has the first LED on)
	3	- special dot mode (a level of 1 -15 still has the first LED on)
	4	- inverse normal bar mode
	5	- inverse normal dot mode
	6	- inverse special bar mode
	7	- inverse special dot mode
	8	- individual element, discrete mode
	9	- inverse individual element, discrete mode
	OFF - disables bargraph mode [default]
	The command is used to configure either set of 8 outputs as an 8-segment bargraph dis-
	play. By default, Bargraph mode is OFF and all outputs are discrete outputs that are con-
	trolled via CHANNEL ON/OFF messages. If this command is received, the selected bank
	of 8 outputs will respond according to the selected mode.
	In modes 8 and 9, the discrete LEDs that are ON correspond to the bit mask sent via a
	Send_Level command. For Example:
	SEND_LEVEL CPI16, 3, $5A
	Turns on LEDs 2, 4, 5, and 7 of bargraph #1.
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND ‘BMODE 1 0’
	Reconfigures Outputs 1 - 8 such that they now act as an 8-segment bargraph.
LEVOFF	Syntax:
Keeps any level	‘LEVOFF’
value from trans-	The NXP-CPI16 will not transmit any level value messages after the receipt of this com-
mitting.
	mand until the receipt of another LEVON command.
LEVON	Syntax:
	‘LEVON’
	The NXP-CPI16 transmits level value messages after the receipt of this command.
