PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
CHSWITCH 'n'
Parameters:
'n' - 0 to $FF (0 to 255 decimal) specifies an ASCII character code.
CHSWITCH selects the characters used by both the PK-88 and the user to show that a new
connection channel is being addressed.
The character can be PASSed in CONVERS mode. This character is always ignored as a
user-initiated channel switch in TRANSPARENT mode; it just flows through as data.
•
The outgoing channel cannot be changed while active or 'on-line' in TRANSPARENT
mode.
•
To switch channels, ESCAPE to Command Mode, then enter Converse Mode to use the
CHSWITCH command.
NOTE:
When using the PK-88 with an electronic mail system, PBBS, or other type of
host or file server, change the CHSWITCH character to $00 to avoid possible
problems with the characters frequently found in some types of data files.
See CHDOUBLE and CHCALL for further use of CHSWITCH.
CLKADJ 'n'
Parameters:
'n'
0 to 65535 specifies a correction factor to be applied to the real-time clock
routine
CLKADJ provides a limited ability to correct the PK-88's real-time clock.
A value of '0' (zero) is a special case and means that NO correction will be applied.
If the value of CLKADJ is anything other than zero, then the correction factor is
calculated as:
relative clock speed in % = 100 - (9.16667 * 1/n)
The real-time clock routine keeps track of year, month, day, hour, minute and second
as specified in the DAYTIME command.
NOTE:
The real-time clock is not intended to serve as your station reference
clock; it is useful for approximate time-stamping information in packet
operation.
