1 AN-E-3197 APPLICATION NOTE VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY MODULE GRAPHIC DISPLAY MODULE GP1045A13A GENERAL DESCRIPTION FUTABA GP1045A13A is a graphic display module using a FUTABA VFD. Consisting of a VFD, display drivers and a control circuit, the module can be driven by connecting to the host system through a simple interface.

2 ! Important Safety Notice Please read this note carefully before using the product. Warning The module should be disconnected from the power supply before handling. The power supply should be switched off before connecting or disconnecting the power or interface cables. The module contains electronic components that generate high voltages (approx. 70V) which may cause an electrical shock when touched. Do not touch the electronic components of the module with any metal objects. The VFD used on the module is made of glass and should be handled with care. When handling the VFD, it is recommended that cotton gloves be used. The module is equipped with a circuit protection fuse. Under no circumstances should the module be modified or repaired. Any unauthorized modifications or repairs will invalidate the product warranty. The module should be abolished as the factory waste. AN-E-3197 [Important Safety Notice]

5 3. BASIC FUNCTIONS 3-1. Communication Data reception A module processes the reception data, assuming the state of reception prohibition by disabled RTS signal, when data is transferred to the module. After processing the data, the module can be ready to receive next data by enabled RTS signal. The RTS signal is controlled on the module side Communication error a) When transferred data can not be received properly at host system by the reason of the transmission failure, the module makes it the transmitted data. b) In case of the command reception, when the overrun or the flaming error occurs, the command is ignored. c) In case of the display data reception, when the overrun or the flaming error occurs, the display data is ignored. d) In case of the command reception, when the parity error occurs, the command is ignored. e) In case of the display data reception, when the parity error occurs, the display data is ignored. f) When an illegal command is received, the command is ignored Data, command write-in When a Shift-JIS/ANK character code is received, the data is written from the home position (the most significant digit of the top row) or specified position, which is set by Set virtual cursor command. And then the write in position is shifted one digit to the right automatically. In case the write-in position is on the least significant digit of the row, the write-in position is left on the same position and a next character code is overwritten. AN-E-3197 [3/25]

7 Back space without deleting (08H) The write-in position is shifted to the left one digit and displaying screen is not changed. This command is ignored when write-in position is on the least significant digit Line Feed (0AH) The write-in position is shifted to the next row on the same digit position. When the write-in position is on the bottom row, the displayed character is scrolled up to the upper row and all characters on the bottom row are cleared. The write in position is not changed. The displayed character under the screen mode of the 24 24dot 1row dot 2rows is not scrolled up from the row of dot format to dot Carriage return (0DH) The write-in position is shifted to the most significant digit of the same row. When the write-in position is on the most significant digit, this is ignored Clear display (1BH,5BH,32H,4AH) All the displayed character are erased. The write-in position is not changed Set virtual cursor (1BH,5BH,Py,3BH,Px,48H) Instead of writing the character from the first digit, the write-in start position can be pointed with this command. The write-in position is shifted with Py, Px.( It is based on the half size letter of the font, which is specified by Screen Mode.) Py indicates the position of the row and Px the digit. Py and Px have to be defined under the following conditions. 1) Py=0, Py=1(31H) 2) Py>bottom row, Py=bottom row 3) Px=0, Px=1(31H) 4) Px>least digit, Px=least digit When ESC [H' (1BH,5BH,48H,27H) command is input, the write-in position moves to home position (Py=1, Px=1) Delete to end of line (1BH,5BH,30H,4BH) The displayed characters from the write-in position to the end on the same row are erased. The write-in position is not shifted Dimming (1BH,5CH,3FH,4CH,44H,Ps) Luminance can be adjusted into six levels by using this function. The following one byte data, after writing 1BH 5CH 3FH 4CH 44H, is written to change dimming level. When the module is turned on, it is set to dimming level 5 (100%).

8 Cursor mode (1BH,5CH,3FH,4CH,43H,Ps) This is only available under the screen mode of 5 7dot, 8rows. The following one-byte data (Ps), after writing 1BH 5CH 3FH 4CH 43H, is written to change the cursor mode. The cursor is always displayed at the write-in position. The cursor is formed by 5 dots located at the bottom of 5 7 dot matrix character font. Table -9 Ps Select mode 0 (30H) No Lighting 1 (31H) Blinking 2 (32H) Lighting a) No Lighting mode The cursor is not displayed on. When the power is turned on, no lighting mode is selected automatically. b) Blinking mode The cursor is repeated ON and OFF every 0.3 seconds on the blank digit. c) Lighting mode The cursor is displayed on. When the write-in position is assigned to the digit on where a character is displayed, the cursor is displayed on, instead of the character displayed Screen mode (1BH,5CH,3FH,4CH,53H,Ps) Table -10 Ps Screen mode Note 1(31H) 5 7 dots 8rows 2(32H) 16 16dots, 8 16dots 3rows default 3(33H) 24 24dots, 12 24dots 2rows 4(34H) 24 24dots 1row+16 16dots 2rows (12 24dots, 8 16dots) 5(35H) 16 16dots, 8 16dots 4rows 6(36H) 4 7(Indicator)+16 16dots 3rows, 8 16dots 3rows 7(37H) 16 16dots 3rows, 8 16dots 3rows+4 7(Indicator) Ps=1 (31H) / 5 7 dots with 8 rows 1 Line CH1 CH dots CH42 CH84 1 Line CH85 CH127 CH169 CH126 CH168 CH dots CH211 CH252 CH253 CH294 CH295 CH336 2 Line 1 Line 2 Line AN-E-3197 [6/25]

In this case, a same message is scrolled repeatedly with no space. 3) A screen is scrolled to the left from the right dot by dot. 4) The range of the display of being scrolled is defined according to the screen mode setting. 5) The command is canceled, when Pn = 00 H After canceled, displayed characters are cleared and the write-in position moves to the most significant digit of the row. 6) The command can be executed in a single line only. 7) A character s display mode set command (reverse/blink mode etc.) can be added with the display data frame. In case the command is written twice or more in one scroll data frame, the first command is only valid and others are ignored. 8) When a message data are changed, this command has to be set again.

17 Baud rate selection It is possible to select a baud rate 1200 to 19200bps by the combination of J1, J2 and J3 of JUMPER as shown below. (Initial setting : 19200bps) Table-15 J1 J2 J3 Baud rate (bps) Parity setting It is possible to set parity bit by the combination of J4 and J5 of the JUMPER as shown below. (Initial setting : Non parity) Table-16 J4 J5 Parity Non Parity ODD EVEN Note) J5 is effective only when J4 is Short The self-test Either self test mode or normal mode, the J6 has to be set at power on. It starts the self-test when the J6 is short, at power on. To release the test mode, the module has to be turned off and thej6 has to be set Open. (Initial setting : Normal) Table-17 J6 Self-test Normal AN-E-3197 [15/25]

27 5. WARRANTY This display module is guaranteed for 1 year after the shipment from FUTABA. 6. CAUTIONS FOR OPERATION 6-1. Applying lower voltage than the specified may cause non activation for selected pixels. Conversely, higher voltage may cause non-selected pixel to be activated. If such a phenomenon is observed, check the voltage level of the power supply DC/DC converter is equipped on the module, the surge current may be approximately 5 times the specified supply current at the power on Avoid using the module where excessive noise interface is expected. Noise affects the interface signal and causes improper operation. Keep the length of the interface cable less than 30cm. (When the longer cable is required, please confirm there is no noise affection.) 6-4. When power is turned off, the capacitor will not discharge immediately. Avoid touching IC and others. The shorting of the mounted components within 30 sec., after power off, may cause damage When fixed pattern is displayed for a long time, you may see uneven luminance. It is recommended to change the display patterns sometimes in order to keep best display quality. REMARKS : The specification is subject to change without prior notice. Your consultation with FUTABA sales office is recommended for the use of this module. AN-E-3197 [25/25]
