PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
TRANS
TRANS is an immediate command that switches the PK-88 switch from the Command Mode to
Transparent Mode. The current state of the radio link is not affected.
Transparent Mode is primarily useful for computer communications. In Transparent Mode,
'human interface' features such as input editing, echoing of input characters, and
type-in flow control are disabled.
Use Transparent Mode for transferring binary or other non-text files.
TRFLOW ON|OFF
Parameters:
ON -
Software flow control for the computer or terminal can be activated in
Transparent Mode.
OFF -
Software flow control for the computer or terminal is disabled in Transparent
Mode.
If TRFLOW is ON, the type of flow control used in Transparent Mode is determined by
how START and STOP are set.
If TRFLOW is OFF, only 'hardware' flow control (CTS, RTS) is available to the computer
and all characters received by the PK-88 are transmitted as data.
If START and STOP are set to $00, the User Stop and User Start characters are disabled
- hardware flow control must be used by the computer.
If TRFLOW is ON, and START and STOP are set to values other than zero, software flow
control is enabled for the user's computer or terminal. The PK-88 responds to the User
Start and User Stop characters (set by START and STOP) while remaining transparent to
all other characters from the terminal.
Unless TXFLOW is also ON, only hardware flow control is available to the PK-88 to
control output from the terminal.
