• ANSI visual attribute support, other than highlighting on/off, can require
control sequences longer that the 5-character maximum provided by the 3708.
This function should be applied only to the highlighting on/off and color 1, 2, 3,
and 4 fields of the TUT definition.
For ANSI-compatible devices, the sequences in this part of the table can be
entered in two different formats:
1. If the entire sequence is 5 characters or less, enter the exact sequence,
including the ESC left bracket that normally introduces an ANSI sequence.
However, for SET CURSOR ADDRESS, the 3708 inserts a semicolon (;)
between the row and column values. Therefore, a semicolon should not be
included in the table entry.
2. If the sequence is more than 5 characters long and is in the format for ANSI
visual attributes, enter the
sequenc~
as follows:
Set the count field to the length of the entire sequence, minus the CSI
(ESC
0
and the separators (X' 3B ').
Turn on the leftmost bit of the count field. This tells the 3708 to
provide the CSI and the separators.
Define only the parameters specifying the visual attributes.
Define the terminating character.
Example
To define a field with high intensity (1), blinking (5), and reverse video (7),
the sequence in the UDT is X' 85303135376D'. The 3708 sends this
sequence to the terminal:
X '18583038313835383760'
(ESC [ 0 ; 1 ; 5 ; 7 m)
Notes:
a. This example assumes that reset, 0 (X' 30 '-all attributes off), must also
be sent.
b. The numbers in parentheses specify the characters understood by the
terminal for a particular visual attribute.
