Operating Information
SELECT GRAPHICS PAGE COMMAND GP
The Select Graphics Page Command GP turns a graphics memory
page on or off.
Syntax:
GP n,m [term]
or
GP [term]
where n = 1 to 5 and m = 1 = On and m = 0 =Off. Each page is
500 16 bit words. GP without parameters selects and turns on
page 1. To begin writing to a particular Graphics Page, the GP
command is used. If over 500 words are written to that page,
the overflow will be written into the next Graphics Page.
NOTE
Care should be exercised when writing to Graphics
Page 5 so to avoid exceeding the 500 word limit.
Overflow will change the normal display on the CRT.
If this happens, normal conditions may be restored by
sending the "IP" command or returning to Local and
pressing PRESET.
PLOT ABSOLUTE COMMAND PA
The Plot Absolute Command PA allows for movement of the beam to
the point specified in plotter units by the X and Y coordinate
parameters that complete the command.
Syntax:
PA x
1
coordinate, Y
1
coordinate (,X~ coordinate, Y
2
coordinate,
••• , ••• , Xn coordinate, Yn coord1nate) [term]
A PA command requires that both the X and Y coordinates (a
coordinate pair) be specified. The X coordinate parameter
specifies the absolute X location in GDU's where the beam is to
move. The Y coordinate parameter specifies the absolute Y
location in GDU's where the beam is to move.
Any number of coordinate pairs may be listed after the PA
instruction, separated by commas, but the maximum user graphics
memory is 2500 16 bit words. The beam will move to each point
in the order given.
If the point specified by a PA command lies off the plotting
area, a line is draw to the plotting area limit, and the beam
~s turned off. The beam remains off until a point on the
lotting area is specified.
