1. Main screen configuration
The main screen displays up to 24 characters by 12 lines. It offers a choice of two display modes: the normal mode
for displaying only normal characters and the extended graphics mode in which both normal and graphic characters
can be displayed, selectable character by character.
Main Screen Features
• Normal mode and extended graphics mode
• Screen configuration: 24 characters × 12 lines (data settable for each character)
• Character sizes: Five different types (selectable for each line)
• Line spacing: 0 to 15 rasters
• Display position control (Vertical: In raster units, Horizontal: In 1/3-character units)
• Setting display priority over the sub-screen (for each line)
• Output control (for each line)
2. Sub-screen configuration
The sub-screen offers a choice of two screen modes: the normal screen mode on which data can be set for each
line and the full-screen moe A or B for full-screen display.
In the normal screen mode, the sub-screen displays up to 32 characters by 12 lines. The number of horizontal
characters can range from 1 to 32 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32 characters) depends on the SG2-SG0 setting of command
11 (sub-screen control).
Setting the code for the character to be displayed at the left end of each line allows a string of continuous characters
of the same character code (address) to be displayed as many as the specified number of horizontal characters.
The full-screen mode enables display using the entire screen (screen display area: 32 characters × 16 lines). Setting
the code for the character to be displayed at the upper left corner of the screen allows a string of continuous
characters of the same character code to be displayed on the entire screen. Full-screen mode A or B is selected
depending on the display area setting.
Sub-screen Features
• Normal screen mode/full-screen mode A/full-screen mode B
• Display position control (Vertical: In raster units, Horizontal: In 2-dot units)
• Setting display priority over the main screen (for each line on the main screen)
• Output control (for each line)
