Display Operation
The ProMotion screen displays the standard U.S. ASCII 96 character set. Characters appear
on the display at the current cursor location.
Cursor Position
Typically, the cursor moves from left to right as the ProMotion receives characters (unless
altered by Escape commands). The display will scroll when a character appears in the last
position in any of the first seven rows for an 8 x 24 display or the first fifteen rows for a 16 x
32 display. The cursor then moves to the left most position on the next row.
The display will also scroll when a character in the “LAST” (Row 8, Column 24 or Row 16,
Column 32) or the “LAST + 1” character position, depending upon the parameter selection
(refer to the
parameter for details).
The cursor is selectable as blinking, non-blinking, visible or invisible. When visible, the
cursor style will indicate the states of the
SHIFT
and
CTRL
modifier keys (refer to the
parameters for details).
