Chapter 4: Programming Set Up |
Enable Cursor
Format: 1B 07
Description: This command causes a flashing cursor to be used whenever the Display On state is in force. When the cursor is enabled, the cursor is visible and flashing at the current cursor position. The flashing cursor should be visible for 1 second and then the character at the cursor position should be visible for 1 second. The effect is to alternate between the character and the cursor. The cursor is defined as character 0X5F of whatever character set is currently chosen. For the three supported character sets, the cursor is the bottom row of pixels turned on. For a user‐ defined character set, the cursor is whatever is defined as character 0X5F of the character set. When the cursor is enabled, it overwrites the character at the cursor position. If the cursor is disabled, the character at the cursor position is left visible.
Note: The cursor on the LCD blinks on and off every .5 second. The cursor displays concurrently with whatever character may already be displayed at the cursor position.
Disable Cursor
Format: 1B 08
Description: This command causes the cursor to be turned off.
This is the default state for the cursor after power‐up.
