PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
8BITCONV ON|OFF
Parameters:
ON
-
The high-order bit IS NOT stripped in Converse Mode.
OFF -
The high-order bit IS stripped in Converse Mode.
8BITCONV permits packet transmission of eight-bit data in the Converse Mode.
If 8BITCONV is OFF, the high-order bit (bit seven) of characters received from the
terminal is removed before the characters are transmitted in a packet.
The standard ASCII character set requires only seven bits - the eighth or final bit is
used as a parity bit or ignored.
Setting bit seven in text characters transmitted over the air may cause confusion
at the other end.
If you need to transmit eight-bit data but don't want all the features of Transparent
Mode, set 8BITCONV ON and AWLEN 8. This may be desirable if you're using a special
non-ASCII character set.
Because commands require only the standard seven-bit ASCII character set, bit seven is
always removed in Command Mode.
ACRDISP 'n'
Parameters:
'n'
0 to 255 specifies the screen or printer width, in number of columns or
characters.
0 (zero) disables the function.
The numerical value sets the proper terminal output format for your specific needs.
The PK-88 sends a <CR><LF> sequence to your computer or terminal at the end of a line
in the Command and Converse Modes when 'n' characters have been printed.
Set ACRDISP to '0' (zero) if your computer or terminal automatically formats
output lines. This avoids conflict between the two formats.
