Display UART Commands
C-3
BRU (Glass Display Control-Brightness Button)
This command sets the LED brightness value of the touch keypad. The range is from 0x00 to 0xFF (0% - 100%).
The default brightness value of the touch keypad will be changed in the ratio of the panel backlight brightness.
You can send a ? to query the current LED brightness value. LEN=one data byte.
Examples:
Command to set 100% Brightness.

BZZ (Buzzer Control)
The default value for the buzzer is OFF. Users can send this command to turn the buzzer on/off.
If the data and data checksum are incorrect, the reply data field is the current buzzer status. LEN=one byte.
0x00
Turn the buzzer OFF
0xFF
Turn the buzzer ON
0x3F
Query the current status
Examples:
Turn the buzzer ON.

DLN (Download ECDIS RGB File)
Before sending this command, use DL? to determine how many available packets are in each ECDIS table. This
command cannot be used if the MD-215 has not been calibrated. Every packet has a head (Byte 7 and Byte 8);
Byte 7 is the packet number and Byte 8 is the ASCII code for “-”; the remaining bytes are the data. If the packet
is full the data is in Byte 9 to Byte 38. LEN=one data byte.
Data length is 32. The first byte is package num., the second byte is “-” and the other 30 bytes are data.
Examples:
Command to read packet 0.
0x07
0xFF
0x44
0x4C
