Modes
Test Mode
The IBM 3197 display station operates in six modes: test, normal
communication, setup, record, play and printer setup.
There are two test sub-modes: basic assurance test and offline test. In basic
assurance test (BAT) sub-mode, the self-diagnostic program automatically runs
to verify the hardware functions. In offline test sub-mode, additional tests can
be executed. For more details on these tests, refer to the IBM 3197 Model C
Color Display Station Problem Solving Guide, GA18-2561.
Normal Communication Mode
Setup Mode
Record Mode
In this mode the display station can send data to and receive data from the host
system. Also in display printer mode, the printer attached to your display
station can receive and print data from the host system.
The display station has two setup sub-modes: offline setup and online setup. In
offline setup mode, the number of logical workstations, address for each
workstation, and necessary parameters for communication with the host system
should be specified.
In online setup mode, the various functions available for the display station
should be specified.
Pressing the Record key in normal communication mode causes the display
station to enter record mode. In this mode, an often-used keystroke sequence
(words or sentence) can be assigned to a particular Function (F) key. Refer to
"Record Mode Operation" for additional information.
