Go Terminal Mode

\i C G =

This command allows the iLCD to leave the command mode and to enter the so-called terminal mode where the module acts like a standard ANSI terminal. After sending the [ACK] character, the only way to end the terminal mode is by sending the special escape sequence "End terminal mode" (see Private ANSI Extensions) from a terminal software. When the terminal mode is active, keystrokes are not reported via the make and break key anymore, but only the key code is reported. See The Concept of iLCD's Touch Fields and Enable/Disable Keyboard Reporting for detailed information.

Note

Terminal mode is not supported in iLCD Manager XE. Sending alphanumeric characters will work, but e.g. curly brackets are interpreted as comments.
Issuing this command automatically enables the ANSI mode (see Enable/Disable ANSI) and horizontal and vertical wrap mode (see Set Wrap Mode).
The terminal mode can be forced at startup when set via iLCD Manager XE. Ending a terminal mode set at startup is done via the same escape sequence as described above.
