The SLCD5 can utilize either RS-232 or CMOS logic levels for serial
communication. By default the COM0 serial port is configured for RS-232. The
COM0 port is usually deemed the “Main” port and is connected to the embedded
processor to control the display. The COM1 port is usually deemed the “Aux”
port and is typically used to update the display bitmaps and macros. The default
settings for serial communications is 115200 baud, 8 data bits , no parity, with 1
stop bit, and software (XON/XOFF) flow control. The baud rate is changeable.
Figure 46 that is shown below illustrates a typical communication setup for the
SLCD5.
