The parameters given on the PX-8 screen are the default settings, as are those
for the QX-IO. Either computer's settings can be changed using the CONFIG
command, but only the QX-IO's can be changed from within the TERM pro-
gram. However, the QX-IO parameters are only temporarily affected by the
TERM program and the QX-IO CONFIG program must be used to alter per-
manently the QX-IO default parameters. If it is necessary to change the
parameters on the PX-8 press
I
RETURN
I
then
IPF101
(shifted
I PF51 )
to exit from
TERM. Now you can use CONFIG to alter the parameters.
Now select Option 1 (default) on the PX-8 and Option 1 on the QX-IO. The
QX-IO's screen will clear and the message
3-80
QX-IO Terminal Mode
will appear at the top with the flashing cursor beneath it. The PX-8's cursor
will move to the beginning of the line above the function key assignment dis-
play. Typing a message on the PX-8 will result in the message appearing on
the screen of the QX-IO. At the end of a sentence or paragraph the
I
RETURN
I
key can be pressed which returns the cursor to the beginning of the same line
and a line feed can be sent by pressing the [I] key. Exactly the same thing
will happen in reverse if you type in a message from the keyboard of the QX-IO.
The characters will appear on the screen of the PX-8 - pressing the
I
RETURN
I
key will move the cursor back to the beginning of the current line and pressing
the [I] key will move the cursor down a line. Pressing
~
on the PX-8
will turn the display on and result in characters input from the PX-8's keyboard
showing on both screens instead of just the QX-IO screen. Remember that both
computers are completely 'dumb' in this mode and cannot perform any process-
ing. All they do is display on their screens whatever has been typed in on the
keyboard of the other computer.
If
the printer is switched on using the
I PF21
key all output from the QX-IO key-
board will be echoed to the printer.
WARNING
If the printer is not switched on, off line or wrongly connected, the
function key display of 'PRINT' will flash.
To exit from this mode press
IPF101
(shifted
I
PF51 )
on the PX-8 and
the
I
BREAK
I
key on the QX-lO.
