384 ASCII Instructions
Instruction Operation
When the rung goes from false-to-true, the Enable bit (EN) is set. When
the instruction is placed in the ASCII queue, the Queue bit (EU) is set. The
Running bit (RN) is set when the instruction is executing. The DN bit is set
on completion of the instruction.
Once the requested number of characters are in the buffer, the characters
are moved to the destination string. The number of characters moved is
put in the POS field of the control data file. The number in the POS field
is continuously updated and the Done bit (DN) is not set until all of the
characters are read.
ARL - ASCII Read Line
Instruction Type: output
Use the ARL instruction to read characters from the buffer, up to and

Termination characters are specified via the Channel Configuration screen.
