7.1.12. Data Transfer Pause
It will be possible when transferring a command, frame memory data or multiple parameter data to invoke a
pause in the data transmission. If the chip select pin (CSX) is released to high state after a whole byte of a frame
memory data or multiple parameter data has been completed, then ILI9341 will wait and continue the frame
memory data or parameter data transmission from the point where it was paused. If the chip select pin is
released after a whole byte of a command has been completed, then the display module will receive either the
command’s parameters (if appropriate) or a new command when the chip select pin is next enabled as shown
below.
This applies to the following 4 conditions:
1) Command-Pause-Command
2) Command-Pause-Parameter
3) Parameter-Pause-Command
4) Parameter-Pause-Parameter
