4-10 Troubleshooting Model 2500 Service Manual
Display board circuits
The display board includes a microcontroller that controls the Vacuum Fluorescent
Display (VFD) and interprets key data. The microcontroller has four peripheral I/O ports
that are used for the various control and read functions.
The VFD module can display up to 52 characters. Each character is organized as a 5 × 7
matrix of dots or pixels and includes a long under-bar segment to act as a cursor. The
display uses a common multiplexing scheme with each character refreshed in sequence.
Circuitry includes the grid drivers and dot drivers.

Troubleshooting information for the various circuits is summarized below. Refer to the
component layout drawings at the end of Section 6 for component locations.
