※ Specify decimal point, comma, semicolon, annunciator*

(1) US . n (Decimal Point) / US , n (Comma) / US ; n (Semicolon):

The displayed character codes are form 32(20h) to 127(7Eh), and 128(80h) to 255(FFh) in
the character code table. The period/comma/semicolon displayed only for n. The period is
not displayed for the subsequent display characters.

(2) US # n m (annunciator):
[ range ] n = 0(00h) or 1(01h) / m = 0(00h)~20(14h)
[ notes ] When n= 0, the annunciator at column m is turned off.
When n= 1, the annunciator at column m is turned on.
”m” specify column number (the most left column is column 1) at which annunciator
to be turned on/off is placed.
When m = 0, all annunciators are turned on or off.
Once an annuciator(s) is turned on, it remains on until turned off by this command, the
ESC@ or US@ command is executed,or the power is turned off.
[example]: To turn on the annunciator at the third column: [n = 01h ], [ m = 03h ]
To turn off all the annunciators: [n = 00h ], [ m = 00h ]

Above commands relating decimal point, comma, semicolon, and annunciator may not be
available due to hardware limit of display tube.
