LCD Message

The LCD Message tab provides a graphical front-end to 'Command 08' of the MIOS SysEx Implementation.

The text input box is where the LCD text message is written and sent by pressing the "Send LCD Message" button. There are three options for sending an LCD message:

  1. Clear Sreen: Clears the LCD, starts a message (display will not be updated for the next 2 seconds). The text message is optional, it contains additional characters which are print immediately from position 0/0

  2. Current Cursor Position: Starts a message (display will not be updated for the next 2 seconds). The text message is optional, it contains characters which will be printed immediately from the current cursor position.

  3. Co-ordinates: Sets the cursor and starts a message (display will not be updated for the next 2 seconds). The text message is optional, it contains additional characters which will be printed immediately from the new cursor position that is set with the X/Y spin boxes

The "Stop LCD Message" button stops a message immediately, the USER_DISPLAY_Init routine will be invoked which reinitializes the LCD screen.

NOTE: every command will cause that the USER_DISPLAY_Init routine will be invoked within 2 seconds after the last LCD command has been received

NOTE2: these commands are also used by MIOS itself when display type #06 has been selected

NOTE3: these commands are also received by MBHP_TV
