The parameters given
on
the PX-8 screen are the default settings, as are those
for the QX-IO. Either computer's settings can be changed using the
CONFIG
command,
but
only the QX-IO's can be changed from within the
TERM
pro-
gram. However, the QX-IO parameters are only temporarily affected
by
the
TERM
program
and
the QX-IO
CONFIG
program must be used
to
alter per-
manently the QX-IO default parameters.
If
it
is
necessary
to
change the
parameters
on
the PX-8 press I
RETURN
I
then
IPF101
(shifted I
PF51
)
to
exit from
TERM. Now you can use
CONFIG
to
alter the parameters.
Now select Option 1 (default)
on
the PX-8
and
Option 1
on
the QX-IO. The
QX-IO's screen will clear
and
the message
3-80
QX-IO Terminal Mode
will appear
at
the
top
with the flashing cursor beneath it. The PX-8's cursor
will move
to
the beginning
of
the line above the function key assignment dis-
play. Typing a message
on
the PX-8 will result in the message appearing
on
the screen
of
the QX-IO.
At
the end
of
a sentence
or
paragraph the I
RETURN
I
key can be pressed which returns the cursor
to
the beginning
of
the same line
and
a line feed can be sent by pressing the [I] key. Exactly the same thing
will happen in reverse
if
you type in a message from the keyboard
of
the QX-IO.
The characters will appear
on
the screen
of
the PX-8 - pressing the I
RETURN
I
key will move the cursor back
to
the beginning
of
the current line
and
pressing
the
[I] key will move the cursor down a line. Pressing
~
on
the PX-8
will
turn
the display
on
and
result in characters input from the PX-8's keyboard
showing
on
both
screens instead
of
just the QX-IO screen. Remember
that
both
computers are completely
'dumb'
in this mode
and
cannot perform any process-
ing. All they
do
is
display
on
their screens whatever has been typed in
on
the
keyboard
of
the other computer.
If
the printer is switched
on
using the I
PF21
key all
output
from the QX-IO key-
board
will be echoed
to
the printer.
WARNING
If
the printer
is
not switched on,
off
line or wrongly connected, the
function key display
of
'PRINT' will flash.
To
exit from this mode press
IPF101
(shifted I
PF51
) on the PX-8 and
the
I
BREAK
I key on the QX-lO.
