Table 1. Parts List
These commands are always “mapped in” and available,
regardless of font or mode selection (see Table 2).
The primary font is enabled by using code $F2. The
extended ASCII characters can be printed by enabling
the Upper 128 mode ($F1). When the Upper 128 mode
is enabled, sending bytes from $00-$7F will generate the
corresponding graphics characters. Enabling the Lower
128 mode ($F0) will restore the standard ASCII characters. Since the first 32 bytes of the ASCII standard are non-printed control codes, some extra graphical characters

“I finished my first design, schematic and PCB in one day.”
“What a great tool! I love it.” DAN GILL
“For the cost of the software compared to the productivity gains, I consider Proteus to be
pivotal in the commercial viability of my company and by far represents the best value
for money of anything Tempus possesses.” ROB YOUNGS, Tempus Consulting
“PROTEUS stands out as the best all-round program in this review. Other programs
reviewed have strengths in the pcb design process, Proteus maintains a constant high
level of capability throughout. Whether a schematic, user-friendly interactive routing,
configurable autoplacing, competent autorouteing, or a combination of the above,
PROTEUS handles everything very well.” Electronic & Wireless World CAD Review Roundup
