COMMUNICATIONS
Standard
serial communications (RS-232C). The
COLORSCAN-IO uses
XON-XOFF
flagging to
avoid losing
data
at
high
baud
rates.
GRAPHIC
INPUT
(GIN)
When
GIN
is
invoked on the COLORSCAN-IO
Retro-Graphics terminal, a crosshair cursor appears
on
the screen. The crosshair can be moved by press-
ing one
of
the four
cursor
movement keys. When the
cursor
is
at
the desired location, the
point
can be
selected by pressing any alphanumeric key (other
than
RETURN).
This causes the
coordinates
of
the
point
to be
transmitted
back to the user
program.
TEXT
The
COLORSCAN
Retro-Graphics terminal has
continuous
scaling
character
sizes. Text can be
rotated
in 90-degree increments. One font,
standard
ASCII vector characters,
is
available.
