BS4504 SUB-SET PROTOCOL.
The display powers-up normally responding to any valid received
characters. If the character EOT is received at any time the 6155AS
changes to a sub-set of the BS4504 protocol.
The four characters immediately following EOT are then interpreted as the
group number (sent twice) and the ID number (sent twice).
If these characters correspond to the EQUIVALENT ADDRESS of the
display set on the front panel DIP switches (see Table.2) the display
becomes active. Otherwise it ignores all further characters until EOT is
again transmitted.
Once active, the STX character starts the recognition and display of
characters. ETX is used as a terminator and inhibits further operation and
also causes the “strobe" function when operating in MODE 2.
