PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
CMDTIME 'n'
Parameters:
'n' -
0 to 250 specifies timeout value in 100-millisecond intervals while in
Transparent Mode.
If 'n' is 0 (zero), exit from Transparent Mode requires sending the BREAK signal or
interrupting power to the PK-88.
CMDTIME sets the timeout value in Transparent Mode. A guard time of 'n' seconds allows
escape to Command Mode from Transparent Mode, while permitting any character to be
sent as data.
The same Command Mode entry character (default <CTRL-C>) used to exit from the
Converse Mode is used to exit Transparent Mode, although the procedure is different.
•
The Command Mode entry character is set by COMMAND.
•
Three Command Mode entry characters must be entered less than 'n' seconds apart,
with no intervening characters, after a delay of 'n' seconds following the last
characters typed.
•
After a final delay of 'n' seconds, the PK-88 exits Transparent Mode and enters
Command Mode.
•
You will then see the normal Command Mode prompt:
cmd:
