Fields
(Continued)
YES
= The escape code sequences generated by control keys such
as
1/1
and
II
are trans-
mitted
to
the
host
computer. If local echo is
ON,
the
function
is also performed locally.
NO
= The escape code sequences
for
the major function keys are executed locally
but
NOT
transmitted
to
the
host
computer.
Default:
NO
This field is the
functional
equivalent
of
keyboard interface strap B on an
HP
2645 terminal.
NO
= Spaces entered
through
the
keyboard will overwrite existing characters.
YES
= Enable SPace OverWrite (SPOW) latch. When the SPOW latch is off, overwriting occurs
as
normal. When the SPOW latch is on, spaces entered
through
the keyboard move the cursor
forward
but
do
not
overwrite existing characters. The SPOW latch is turned on
by
a carriage
return and is turned
off
by a line feed, home up, or tab. It may also be turned on and
off
pro-
grammatically
through
the
use of an <ESC>&k sequence as follows:
ON:
<ESC>&k
1N
OFF: <ESC>&k
ON
Default:
NO
This field is the functional equivalent
of
keyboard interface strap C on an HP 2645 terminal.
NO
= When the cursor reaches the
right
margin,
it
automatically moves
to
the
left
margin
in
the next
lower line
(a
local carriage return and line feed are generated).
YES
= When the cursor reaches the right margin,
it
remains in
that
screen column until an explicit
carriage return or
other
cursor movement function is performed (succeeding characters
overwrite the existing character in that screen
column).
Default:
NO
This field is the functional equivalent of keyboard interface strap D on an
HP
2645.
LINE
= When operating in
block
mode,
the
terminal will transmit data a line at a time (or a field at a
time if format mode is
enabled).
PAGE
= When operating in
block
mode, the terminal will transmit data a page at a time.
For a
detailed description
of
the
differences between block line and block page mode refer
to
"The
ENTER Key" in section
IV
of
this manual.
Default:
LINE
These fields are the
functional
equivalents of keyboard interface straps G and H on an
HP
2645
terminal. Together they determine what
type
of
handshaking is
to
be used when transferring blocks
of
data from the terminal
to
the
host computer.
The various types of
block
transfers that may occur are
as
follows:
•
A data transfer initiated by pressing the
am
key in character,
block
line,
or
block page mode.
•
A data transfer initiated by pressing the
am
or _ key in
modify
mode.
• A data transfer initiated by pressing a transmit only
(T)
user key
("-B).
• The terminal's response
to
a cursor sense,
terminallD
status,
primary
status, secondary status,
or device status request issued from the host computer.
• The device control completion code
(S,
F,
or
U)
transmitted by the terminal in conjunction with a
device
control operation initiated by the host computer.
When performing
block
transfers, there are three possible handshakes:
1.
No handshake; terminal merely transmits block
of
data.
