HP 262SA - Display Functions Mode

Terminal Control
Display Functions Mode
When Display Functions mode is enabled the terminal operates as follows:
•
In Local mode, it displays ASCII control codes and escape sequences but does not execute
them. For example, if you press the _ key the terminal displays Ec D on the screen but
.does not perform the ((cursor left" function.
•
In Remote mode, it transmits ASCII control codes and escape sequences but does not
execute them locally. For example, if you press the .., key the terminal transmits an
Ec S but does not perform the ((roll up" function.
There are two exceptions to the foregoing descriptions:
1. An Ec Y, which enables Display Functions mode, is executed ,but is not transmitted or
displayed; Ec Z, which disables Display Functions mode, is both displayed and executed,
but not transmitted.
2. A <CR> (or <CR> <LF> if Auto Line Feed mode is enabled) is executed in addition to
being transmitted and/or displayed.
From the keyboard, you enable and disable Display Functions mode using the DI SPLAY
FUNCTNS
key.
From a program executing in a host computer, you enable and disable Display Functions
mode using the following escape sequences:
ENABLE:
Ec Y
DISABLE: Ec Z
NOTE: There is interaction between Display Functions and the XmitFnctn(A) field of the
configuration menu. If Xmi tFnttn(A) is on, the DISPLAY FUNCTNS key transmits Ec
Y. However, the DISPLAY FUNCTNS key will not transmit Ec Z when pressed again.
Once enabled, Display Functions mode remains enabled until explicitly disabled, until a soft
or hard reset is performed, or until the power is turned off.
