USER'S GUIDE
Some commands such as
accepts from 1 to 4 numerical arguments. You can type
are legal commands.
6.3.1.
Parameters
Three different types of parameters are used: Boolean, numeric and txt or string.
6.3.1.1.
Boolean Parameters
Boolean parameters use one value out of a choice of only two possible values, such as
ON or OFF, YES or NO or EVERY or AFTER. Boolean parameters can also be toggled
with an argument of 'TOGGLE' or 'T'. This is useful, for example, in the case of
TXREV
and
o When a parameter is Boolean, its two possible choices are shown separated by a
vertical bar.
6.3.1.2.
Numeric Parameters
A parameter designated as
o Numeric values can be entered by typing familiar decimal numbers or optionally in
hexadecimal numbers.
In using hexadecimal notation, you must prefix the number you type with a '$' charac-
ter.
The PK-232 displays some of these numeric parameters (those which set special charac-
ters) in hexadecimal format. Here's a brief explanation of 'hex' numbers:
o The "digits" of a hex number represent powers of 16 in the same manner as the
power of 10 represented by a decimal number.
o The numbers 10 through 15 are indicated by hexadecimal digits A through F. For
example:
$1B
$120 = (1 × 16 × 16) + (2 × 16) + (0 × 1) = 288 (decimal)
For numeric parameters in the range 0 to 255, arguments "ON" or "Y" set the value of
the parameter to their ROM default values. Arguments "OFF" or "N" set the value to 0
(zero).
Baud-rate parameters can use arguments UP (U) or DOWN (D) to select the next higher
or lower baud rate. This is useful with
6.3.1.3.
Text or String Parameters
A text parameter such as the argument or "message" for
sage) or CTEXT (your "connect" message), can be typed in upper or lower case.
o A text parameter can include numbers, spaces and punctuation.
o The text is accepted exactly as you type it.
