Acrdisp; Acrpack - Advanced Electronic Applications PK-88 Operating Manual

PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
8BITCONV ON|OFF
Parameters: ON
OFF
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 re-
moved before the characters are transmitted in a packet. The standard ASCII character set re-
quires 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 re-
moved in Command Mode.

ACRDISP

n
Parameters:
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
⇒ Set ACRDISP to '0' (zero) if your computer or terminal automatically formats output lines. This
avoids conflict between the two formats.
ACRPACK ON|OFF
Parameters: ON
OFF
ACRPACK is synonymous with CR and is used in the same manner as the older command. Either
command word has the same effect.
When ACRPACK is ON, all packets sent in Converse Mode include, as the last character of the
packet, the send-packet character which forces the packet to be sent.
When ACRPACK is OFF, the send-packet character is interpreted only as a command to the PK-88,
not as data to be included in the packet; the character is not echoed to the terminal.
Set ACRPACK ON and
when a [↵] is entered, and arrives at its destination with a <CR> at the end of the line.
