PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
FLOW ON|OFF
Parameters:
ON -
Type-in flow control IS active.
OFF -
Type-in flow control is NOT active.
When FLOW is ON, type-in flow control is active. Any character typed on your keyboard
causes output from the PK-88 to the terminal to stop until any of the following
conditions exist:
•
A packet is forced (in Converse Mode)
•
A line is completed (in Command Mode)
•
The packet length (See PACLEN) is exceeded
•
The terminal output buffer fills up
Canceling the current command or packet or typing the redisplay-line character also
causes output to resume. Type-in flow control is not used in Transparent Mode.
Setting FLOW ON prevents inbound or received data from interfering with your keyboard
data entry. If you (and the person you are talking to) normally wait for a packet from
the other end before starting to respond, you can set FLOW OFF.
•
Some electronic mail and packet bulletin board systems may work best with FLOW
set to OFF.
•
Some interface boards or computers with 'software UARTs' may be unable to send
and receive data at the same time. If you are using that type of computer, set
FLOW to ON.
Mnemonic: F
