SOFTWARE COMMANDS
Logic Controls pole displays are controlled by command codes and
data from the computer. The model of pole display that you have will
determine which command set works with your pole. Refer to the
model identification chart for further information.
Commands are transmitted to the pole display as ASCII codes. The
command codes listed below are expressed in hexadecimal (base 16)
numbers enclosed inside angle brackets < >, in decimal numbers
enclosed in parenthesis ( ), and in ASCII characters enclosed in curly
brackets { }. Do not include the brackets as part of the command. ‘ ^ ‘
character denotes ‘Ctrl’ in the keyboard. Press and hold ‘Ctrl’, then
press the next key.
