n
PARITY
Mode: All
n
Parameters:
-
PARITY
sets the PK-232's data parity for terminal or computer data transfer according to the table
below:
0 = no parity
The parity bit, if present, is stripped automatically on input and is not checked in Command and
Converse Modes.
In Transparent Mode all eight bits (including parity) are transmitted in packets. When "no parity" is
AWLEN
set and
is 7, the eighth bit is set to 0 (zero).
PASS
n
Mode: Packet
n
Parameters:
-
PASS
selects the ASCII character used for the "pass" input editing commands.
n
The parameter
is the numeric ASCII code for the character you'll used to signal that the charac-
ter immediately following it is to be included in a packet or text string.
You can enter the code in either hex or decimal.
PASS
Use the
character (default <CTRL-V>) to send characters that usually have special functions.
A common use for the PASS character is to allow <CR> to be included in the
messages so that the transmitted information appears on several short lines rather than a single
longer line.
PASS
Use the
character to insert <CR> at the end of a short line:
BT Notice:<CTRL-V<CTRL-M>
Meeting at the Firehouse tonight <CTRL-V><CTRL-M>
at 8:00 PM. All welcome!<CR>
The distant station's monitor shows:
Notice:
Meeting at the Firehouse tonight
at 8:00 PM. All welcome!
PASS
Without the
character, the message would probably look like this:
Notice: Meeting at the Firehouse tonight at 8:00 PM. All welcome!
In like manner, you can include <CR> in text when you are in Converse Mode, to send multi-line
packets. (The default send-packet character is <CR>.)
PK232UG Rev. B 9/86
