PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-74 199
STArt "n" Default: $11 <CTRL-Q>
Mode: All Host: ST
Parameters: "n" - 0 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal) specifies an ASCII character code.
Use the START command to choose the user START character (default <CTRL-Q>) you want to
use to restart output FROM the PK-232 TO the terminal after it has been halted by typing the user
STOP character. See the XFLOW command.
STOp "n" Default: $13 <CTRL-S>
Mode: All Host: SO
Parameters: "n" - 0 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal) specifies an ASCII character code.
Use the STOP command to select the user STOP character (default <CTRL-S>) you will use to stop
output FROM the PK-232 TO the terminal. See the XFLOW command.
TBaud "n" Default: 1200 bauds
Mode: All Host: TB
Parameters: "n" - Specifies the data rate in bauds, on the RS-232 serial I/O port.
TBAUD sets the baud rate you are using to communicate with the PK-232 from your terminal or
computer. Use TBAUD to set terminal rates not covered by the autobaud routine, such as 110 and
600 bauds. Set TBAUD to specify the terminal baud rate to be activated at the next power-on or
RESTART. A warning message reminds you of this. Be sure you can set your terminal for the same
rate.
The TBAUD command supports the following serial port data rates of 45, 50, 57, 75, 100, 110,
150, 200, 300, 400, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600 bauds.
TClear Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: TC
The TCLEAR command clears your PK-232's transmit buffer and cancels any further transmission of
data when in the Baudot, ASCII, AMTOR or Morse operating modes. In Packet Mode, all data is
cleared except for a few remaining packets. You must be in the Command Mode to use TCLEAR.
TDBaud "n" Default: 96
Mode: TDM Host: TU
Parameters: "n" - Specifies the data rate in bauds of the TDM signal you are receiving.
The default value of n is 96. TDB can be set to 0-200, but only some of these are legal values:
1-channel: 48, 72, 96
2-channel: 86, 96, 100
4-channel: 171, 192, 200
No error checking is done for values other than above. Bad values result in an internal TDBAUD of
96.
