The User Programmable CAP uses the
Programming Mode to enter and update translation
equations and other parameters used in the
translation process.
Programming Mode is menu-driven. You will need a
dumb terminal (or similar device) to use the
Programming Mode. Cursor positioning is not used.
The only control characters used in the menu
screens are carriage return and linefeed characters,
which terminate every line.
4.1 Entering and Exiting the Programming Mode
You can access the Program Mode through either
port. Remove the cover of the unit, and turn on the
Program Mode DIP switch for the port. When one
port is in Program Mode, the other port is disabled.
To exit the Program Mode, select the X option from
the main menu. Remove the unit's cover and turn
off the Program Mode DIP switch for the port.
Then either press the reset pushbutton, or turn the
unit off and on again.
4.2 Programming Menu
When you are in Program Mode, a menu-driven
program helps you with adding and editing the
translation equations.
This is the Main Menu:
PROGRAM MODE MENU
(1) ADD a new translation
(2) DELETE an old translation
(3) LIST & EDIT one translation
(4) INSERT a translation
(5) LIST ALL translation equations
(6) CLEAR ALL translation equations
(7) UPLOAD translation table
(8) DOWNLOAD translation table
(9) Set Partial String Timeout
(A) Set Special Flow Control Mode
(X) EXIT from program mode
Please enter your selection (1-9, A, X):
4.0 Operation
The options are explained below:
• Add — This option lets you add one translation
equation. The unit can store up to 150 different
translation equations. Each translation equation
is assigned an equation number, from 001 to
150, when you enter the equation into the unit.
• Delete — The unit prompts you for an Equation
Number when you select this function. If you
don't know the number of the equation you
want to delete, select the List All function from
the Main Menu, and the screen will show all
Equations and their numbers.
NOTE
When an equation is deleted, all of the
remaining equation numbers (after the
one deleted) are moved up one place.
For example, if you delete Equation No.
003, Equation 004 becomes 003, and so
on.
• List and Edit — The unit prompts you for an
Equation Number when you select this function.
After you enter the number, the program
displays the existing equation and lets you edit
it. If you don't know the Equation Number,
select the List All function.
• Insert — The unit prompts you for an Equation
Number when you select this function. The
translation entered is inserted before the
Equation Number specified. If you don't know
the Equation Number, select the List All
function.
