This table lists the advanced text instructions that the SER_SEND
instruction understands. You may embed these abbreviations (within <> brackets) in a string to be sent by SER_SEND
and the correct code(s) will be automatically substituted. For example, SER_SEND("<CLEAR>Text")
would clear the screen, then send the word Text.
Note that these instructions are common to most of our serial displays, except for the BPI- and BPK- series. These use a different set of codes, with their own SER_SEND
equivalents; see the table.
