LCD EXPRESS

Available translations (test)

The application allows to edit characters files and to plan the location of texts on various matrices for HD44780-Based LCD displays. You can also simulate the effects of the multiplication CGRAM and the shift of the matrix. The whole standard table of the codes of characters CG ROM was made accessible in the software. LCD EXPRESS uses the Drag&Drop technique for various functions. The additional way of copying objects was introduced through memorization by clicking the left mouse key and copying it at the moment by clicking the right mouse key. It is very good way to copy objects when they are not simultaneously visible and we have to wrap the panel of editing characters. Working with the program LCD EXPRESS is very simple. The status bar is used to display all sorts of useful information about the program.

NOTE:

Lcd Express requires the Microsoft .NET Framework v 2.0 or newer installed on your machine.
(.NET Framework is included with Win2003 and Vista)

The tab FILE and the MAIN PANEL

Positions of characters in the file can be changed. To do that, mark the position, you want to move, and then press the icon ” <-” or ”->”. Removing icon ”-” does not destroy the graphic pattern of the char! It’s only covering. At any moment it can uncovered by pressing the icon ”+”.However, only visible characters are writing down into the file. The quantity of chars in the file was limited to 32. Files with the sets of characters (*.lcd files) are written down in the binary format in 11 bytes blocks. Bytes 9-11 they are not used in the format 5x8, but it will assure in the future this full compatibility of formats 5x8 and 5x11 (with the space). Program is checking the number of bytes in the file. If it is not the multiplicity of number 11, then the file will be notified as damaged.

The tab EDITOR

The tab EDITOR possesses the function of the exchange edited characters to the code in various formats. Makes it possible to export the code to other program..

The tab DESIGNER

LCD EXPRESS uses the Drag&Drop technique for various functions. We can draw in the cell of the memory CGRAM to the LCD matrix. The character patterns can be directly read from the file (*.lcd) to CGRAM or drawing in several chars to one position. By clicking on the cell of the memory CGRAM we can wrap the order of characters, establishing the various positions from which we want to begin the simulation of the multiplication.
