Normal/Test Switch 
When 
you 
are operating the display station, this switch will be in the Normal 
position. 
You will use the Test position 
of 
this switch when 
you 
have a problem with the 
machine and 
you 
perform the problem determination procedures.  When you 
place the switch 
in the Test position, you can perform the tests 
that 
are described 
in Section 3 
of 
the 3278 Problem Determination Guide. 
Dual Case/Mono 
Case 
(A,a/A) 
Switch 
You can use  this switch 
to 
cause your display station 
to 
display 
(l) 
only upper-
case alphabetic characters or (2) 
both 
uppercase and lowercase characters.  To 
select only uppercase characters, set the switch to 
A; 
to 
select uppercase and 
lowercase characters, set the switch 
to 
A,a. 
However, the position 
of 
this switch does 
not 
determine whether uppercase or 
lowercase alphabetic characters are sent 
to 
the host system.  For example, 
if 
the 
switch 
is 
set to A and 
you 
enter a lowercase e character, an uppercase E char-
acter 
is 
displayed 
on 
the screen; however, when the character 
is 
sent 
to 
the host 
system, the code for a lowercase e character 
is 
sent. 
Video  Test Switch 
If 
your 
display station has the 
IBM 
3270 Personal Computer Attachment 
installed, the Video Test switch 
is 
located in a panel 
on 
the back 
of 
the display. 
This switch does 
not 
affect the display and can be in any position during display 
operation. 
You will use 
the 
Test Mono and Test Color positions 
of 
the switch when 
you 
have a display station problem and are performing problem determination.
