Table 21: Example of an ASCII Table
The letter A has a value of 65 Decimal or 41 Hex
The letter A has a value of 97 Decimal or 61 Hex
The number 0 has a value of 48 Decimal or 30 Hex
The number 9 has a value of 57 Decimal or 39 Hex
This gives rise to the possibility of confusion when parameters are being set on the display. For example,
the GPO ON and OFF commands use a number to indicate which GPO is being controlled. We’re told
that acceptable values are 1 to 6. All such parameters must use numeric values (i.e., the actual byte
values). If we send the ASCII number 0 by mistake it will actually give the value 48 decimal (30 hex) to the
parameter, which is wrong.
In the tables given in the following sections ASCII characters are shown as ‘A’, with single quotes.
