How to create the menu using the highlight effect

Step 1 – Initialization

Send the following codes to the Y Series module CU24063-Y1A:

//Initialize display
1Bh 40h
//Turn off the cursor
14h
//Increase the screen brightness to 200%
1Fh 58h 08h
//Reduce the character brightness to 29% of the screen brightness
1Fh 28h 67h 50h 03h 00h 00h

Codes breakdown

1. Set the display to default settings.
2. Turns off cursor.
3. Set the screen brightness.
4. Parameter for the screen brightness.
   08h: 200%
   Default value is 04h: 100%.
5. Set the character brightness.
6. Parameter for the character brightness.
   03h: 29% of the screen brightness.
   Default value is 08h: 100%.
7. Reserved

Step 2 – Display the menu content

We will display the menu content.

Exception of moving the cursor, all codes used below to create the menu are ASCII-based.
Send the following codes to the Y Series module CU24063-Y1A:

//Set cursor to x=7, y=0
1Fh 24h 07h 00h 00h 00h
//MAIN MENU
4Dh 41h 49h 4Eh 20h 20h 4Dh 45h 4Eh 55h
//Line feed + Carriage return
0Ah 0Dh
//CHANNELS
43h 48h 41h 4Eh 4Eh 45h 4Ch 53h
//Set cursor to x=16, y=1
1Fh 24h 0Fh 00h 01h 00h
//SWITCHES
53h 57h 49h 54h 43h 48h 45h 53h 20h
//AMPLITUDE
41h 4Dh 50h 4Ch 49h 54h 55h 44h 45h
//Set cursor to x=16, y=2
1Fh 24h 0Fh 00h 02h 00h
//FREQUENCY
46h 52h 45h 51h 55h 45h 4Eh 43h 59h
//PRESSURE
50h 52h 45h 53h 53h 55h 52h 45h
//Set cursor to x=16, y=3
1Fh 24h 0Fh 00h 03h 00h
//SIGNALS
53h 49h 47h 4Eh 41h 4Ch 53h
//Line feed + Carriage return
0Ah 0Dh
//PUMPS
50h 55h 4Dh 50h 53h
//Set cursor to x=16, y=4
1Fh 24h 0Fh 00h 04h 00h
//FLOW
46h 4Ch 4Fh 57h
//Line feed + Carriage return
0Ah 0Dh
//OPTIONS
4Fh 50h 54h 49h 4Fh 4Eh 53h
//Set cursor to x=16, y=5
1Fh 24h 0Fh 00h 05h 00h
//EXIT
45h 58h 49h 54h

Codes breakdown

1. Set cursor position from the parameter 2 and 4.
2. Sets the horizontal character position.
3. 00h: required.
4. Sets the vertical character position.
5. 00h: required.

Step 3 – Add the highlight effect

We will now add the highlight effect to the word “FREQUENCY”.

Send the following codes to the Y Series module CU24063-Y1A:

//Set cursor to x=16, y=2
1Fh 24h 0Fh 00h 02h 00h
//Change the character brightness to 100% of the screen brightness
1Fh 28h 67h 50h 08h 00h 00h
//FREQUENCY
46h 52h 45h 51h 55h 45h 4Eh 43h 59h

Codes breakdown

1. Set the character brightness.
2. Parameter for the character brightness.
   08h: 100% of the screen brightness.
3. Reserved
4. ASCII-based codes for “FREQUENCY”.

Step 4 – Move the highlighted area

In this example we will remove the highlight from the word “FREQUENCY” and highlight the word “AMPLITUDE”.

Send the following codes to the Y Series module CU24063-Y1A:

//Set cursor to x=16, y=2
1Fh 24h 0Fh 00h 02h 00h
//Change the character brightness to 29% of the screen brightness
1Fh 28h 67h 50h 03h 00h 00h
//FREQUENCY
46h 52h 45h 51h 55h 45h 4Eh 43h 59h
//Set cursor to x=0, y=2
1Fh 24h 00h 00h 02h 00h
//Change the character brightness to 100% of the screen brightness
1Fh 28h 67h 50h 08h 00h 00h
//AMPLITUDE
41h 4Dh 50h 4Ch 49h 54h 55h 44h 45h
