7. Display Precautions
• Avoid having to display the same image/object
on the screen for lengthy periods of time. This will
cause a burn-in which is a common problem with
all types of display technologies. Blank the screen
after a while or dim it very low by adjusting the
contrast. Better still; implement a screen saver
feature.
• Moisture and water can damage the display.
Moisture on the surface of a powered display will
cause the electrodes to corrode. Wipe off any
moisture gently or let the display dry before usage.
• Dirt from fingerprint oil and fat can easily stain
the surface of the display. Gently wipe off any
stains with a soft lint-free cloth.
• The performance of the display will degrade
under high temperature and humidity. Avoid such
conditions when storing.
• Do not tamper with the display flex cable that is
connected to the control board. This may affect
the connection between the display and the
driving circuitry and cause failure.
• Displays are susceptible to mechanical shock and
any force exerted on the module may result in
deformed zebra stripes, a cracked display cell and
broken backlight
• Always use the mounting holes on the module's
corner plates to mount the display.
8. Hardware Tools
The following hardware tools are required for full
control of the μLCD-28PTU module.
4D Programming Cable/Adaptor
The 4D Programming Cable and uUSB-PA5
Programming Adaptor are essential hardware
tools to program, customise and test the PICASO
Processor.
Either the 4D Programming Cable or the uUSB-PA5
Programming Adaptor can be used.
The 4D programming interfaces are used to
program a new Firmware/PmmC and for
downloading compiled 4DGL code into the
processor. They even serve as an interface for
communicating serial data to the PC.
The 4D Programming Cable and uUSB-PA5
Programming Adaptor are available from 4D
Systems, www.4dsystems.com.au
Using a non-4D programming interface could
damage your processor, and void your Warranty.
