The Designate Standard Character Set Instruction, Cs - HP 7470A Interfacing And Programming Manual

lotter Character Sets
The plotter has the capability of lettering with any of five internal
character sets. Each of the character sets has identical upper- and
lowercase alphabetic characters and identical numerals. The symbols
and punctuation marks vary from set to set, making annotation in
several languages possible. The plotter, when initialized, automatically
sets both the standard and alternate sets to ASCII character set 0
which follows:
CHARACTER SET 0
E 3
! "#$%&' (>*+. -. /0123456789: ; <=>?@
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ C\D~_
N
abcdQf ghi Jklmnopqrstuvwxyz < ! > ~h
Some examples of annotation in foreign languages are found below.
Notice that the label string in the HP-GL label command shows the
character in the character set of the keyboard on which the command
is entered or uses the CHR$ function if that ASCII character code is
not available on the computer's keyboard.

Shown next are the symbols which vary from set to set. The plotter will
perform a n automatic backspace before drawing any of the shaded
symbols. Therefore, when an accented letter is required, the letter
should be entered first, followed by the accent.

The D e s i g n a t e Standard Character Set
Instruction, CS
E'E
The designate standard character set instruction, CS,
provides the means of designating one of the five character sets (0
through 4) as the standard character set.
mm
The instruction can be used to change the standard character
set to one with characters appropriate for your application. It is espe­
cially useful when labels are in a language other than English.
mam CS character set number (terminator)
The character set number can be 0 through 4. The set
designated by the CS instruction is used for all labeling operations
when the standard set is selected by the SS instruction or by the control
character shift-in (decimal equivalent 15) in a label string. Character
set 0 is automatically designated as the standard character set when­
ever the plotter is initialized or set to default values.
A CS command executed while the standard set is selected will imme­
diately change the character set used for labeling. CS commands
