Flash memory; during data acquisition, touch interrupt triggers coordinate reading and writing to the TF card; backlight brightness is controlled by adjusting the PWM duty cycle of PB10; during operation, the MCU controls SPI time-division multiplexing in the following order: first, PB1 pin is set low and PB11 pin is set low, and a command is sent to the TFT display module U4 through PA7 pin; then, PB11 pin is set high to send display data; after completion, PB1 pin is set high again and PA3 pin is set low, and an instruction is sent to the touch control module through PA7 pin. Multiplexing conflicts on the PB10 pin are avoided through time-division operation: after the RESX pin is reset, backlight control is enabled, and the PENIRQ interrupt is set to fall-edge trigger.

[0039] This invention solves the problems of low integration, poor portability, and high cost of other current instrument displays, which result in a poor user experience. By integrating the necessary modules together, it can complete the instrument display function while also being portable, highly integrated, and having a user-friendly human-computer interaction.
