Also returns display being shifted to original positions. DD RAM contents remain unchanged. Sets cursor move direction and specifies shift of display. These operations are performed during data write and read. Execution Time (Max) 1. 64 ms 40µs C B Sets On/Off of entire display (D), cursor On/Off (C), and blink of cursor position character (B). 40µs - - Moves cursor and shifts display without changing DD RAM contents. 40µs - - Sets interface data length (DL), number of display lines (L), and character font (F) 40µs Sets CG RAM address. CG RAM data is sent and received after this setting. 40µs ADD Sets DD RAM address. DD RAM data is sent and received after this setting. 40µs AC Reads Busy flag (BF) indicating internal operation is being performed and reads address counter contents. 40µs Write Data Writes data into DD or CG RAM. 40µs Read Data Reads data from DD or CG RAM. 40µs S/ R/ C L 1 DL N F 1 AGC 9
