Notice that in contrast to BKC-DIP V1.0 display replies, there are no 80 through 8A parameters
indicating selection.
Similarly for the front panel display contents:
(0,G,D,F;01C0)
(0,E,G,D,01C0;02BF)
(0,R,D,F,0="CB Input 1 On";06EB)
Notice that for the front panel display (sometimes referred to as VFD (Vacuum-Fluorescent
Display) because of the front panel’s display technology) reply does not include any additional
padding characters to account for the hardware being able to display a decimal point with each
character. In the event a decimal point is present, the returned string expands accordingly.
(0,D,F,T0,X0,Y0,"Decimal Pnts. 1.2.";0957)
(0,E,D,F,0957;02BF)
(0,G,D,F;01C0)
(0,E,G,D,01C0;02BF)
(0,R,D,F,0="Decimal Pnts. 1.2. ";0849)
In many applications selection is unimportant (such as those where BKC-DIP exclusively writes
messages to the unit’s display, since writing via BKC-DIP does not allow selection). Selecting
this format will decrease Get Display message traffic, and will increase the speed at which Display
information can be captured (especially at lower baud rates).
NOTE: This reply format is only available if the BKC-DIP V2.0 Enabled parameter is enabled
and the appropriate OSD and VFD reply modes are set to BKC-DIP V2.0 Compliant
Display Reply without Attributes.
BKC-DIP V2.0 Compliant Display Reply with Attributes
BKC-DIP V2.0 Display Replys with attributes is the most verbose of the display reply modes.
The benefit of this reply mode is that it fully describes the attributes of each character of the
display.
The display reply from the OSD of the example menu screen results in:
(0,G,D,O;01C9)
(0,E,G,D,01C9;02C8)
0,R,D,O,
0=" CONTROL OUT B ",
