PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-46 171
HPoll ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: Host Host: HP
Parameters: ON - The HOST Mode program must poll the PK-232 for all data (default).
OFF - The HOST Mode program must accept data from the PK-232 at anytime.
When HPOLL is ON (default) the HOST Mode program must poll the PK-232 (using the <CTRL-A>
O G G <CTRL-W>) for all data that might be available to be displayed to the screen. When HPOLL
is OFF, the HOST Mode program must be able to accept any data from the PK-232 whenever it be-
comes available.
Id Immediate Command
Mode: AMTOR/ASCII/Baudot/Packet Host: ID
In AMTOR, the ID command acts like the RCVE command, only adding a Morse ID before going
back to receive. In ASCII and Baudot, the ID command causes a CW ID to be sent much like an
immediate version of the CWID character (CTRL-F). Because the ID command is immediate, the
message "Transmit Data Remaining" will be displayed if any unsent data remains in the transmit
buffer.
In Packet, ID is an immediate command that sends a special identification packet. The ID com-
mand allows you to send a final identification packet when you're taking your station off the air.
HID must also be set ON. The identification consists of a UI-frame, with its data field containing
your MYALIAS (if any) and your MYCALL and the word "digipeater". The ID packet is sent only if
your PK-232 has digipeated any transmissions since the last automatic identification.
ILfpack ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: Packet Host: IL
Parameters: ON - The PK-232 ignores all line-feed characters received from the terminal.
OFF - The PK-232 transmits all line-feeds received from the terminal.
The ILFPACK command permits you to control the way the PK-232 handles line-feed characters re-
ceived from your computer or terminal while in the Packet mode.
IO "n" Default: none
Mode: All Host: IO
Parameters: "n" - A hexadecimal value used to access the PK-232's memory and I/O locations,
or read values stored at a specified ADDRESS.
The IO command works with the ADDRESS command (ADDRESS $aabb) and permits access to
memory and I/O locations. Use the IO command without arguments to read an I/O location, and
with one argument $0 to $FF to write to an I/O location. The value in ADDRESS is not incremented
after using the IO command.
In ADDRESS $aabb, where "aa" (01-FF) is the device address, and "bb" is the register address on
the device.
If ADDRESS is set to $00bb, the IO command reads or writes data to the device at I/O address bb.
There is no register set-up before the access. This command is used primarily as a programmer's
aid and is not needed for normal PK-232 use.
