9.1 Initialization Parameters
The parameters for the initialization commands must
be determined first. Square brackets around a param-
eter name indicate the number represented by the
parameter, rather than the value written to the param-
eter register. For example, [FX] = FX + 1.

SYSTEM SET Instruction and Param-
eters
FX
The horizontal character field size is deter-
mined from the horizontal display size in pixels
[VD] and the number of characters per line
[VC].
[VD] / [VC]
≤
[FX]
VD: # of X-directional dots
VC: # of X-directional characters
C/R
C/R can be determined from VC and FX.
[C/R] = RND([FX] / 8)
×
[VC]
where RND(x) denotes x rounded up to the
next highest integer. [C/R] is the number of
bytes per line, not the number of characters.
TC/R
TC/R must satisfy the condition [TC/R]
≥
[C/R]
+ 4.

and f
FR
Once TC/R has been set, the frame frequency,
f
FR
, and lines per frame [L/F] will also have
been set. The lower limit on the oscillator
frequency f
OSC
is given by:

If no standard crystal close to the calculated
value of f
OSC
exists, a higher frequency crystal
can be used and the value of TC/R revised
using the above equation.
Symptoms of an incorrect TC/R setting are
listed below. If any of these appears, check the
value of TC/R and modify it if necessary.
Vertical scanning halts and a high-con-
trast horizontal line appears.
All pixels are on or off.
The LP output signal is absent or cor-
rupted.
The display is unstable.

Notes:
1. The remainder pixels on the right-hand side of the display are automatically blanked by the SED1335F. There is no need to
zero the display memory corresponding to these pixels.
2. Assuming a frame frequency of 60 Hz.
