Appendix C
KEYBOARD LAYOUTS, CHARACTER
CODES,
AND MACRO NUMBERS
The
terminal
can display eight different character sets
,
all
of
which are stored in the
terminal's firmware. Six
character sets
support
the
terminal
's international
keyboards
(North
American
,
United Kingdom
,
French
,
Swedish
,
Danish/Norwegian
,
and
German),
and two character
sets
provide supplementary
symbols and rulings characters
.
Plugging a keyboard
into
the
terminal
automatically
designates that keyboard's
character set as
the
primary
character
set.
For example
,
if you are using the North
American keyboard, the
terminal
displays the
North
American
character
set,
and if
you are using the Option 4G German
keyboard, the terminal
displays
the
German
character set.
In Setup
,
your terminal always displays
the character
set associated
with your
keyboard.
However,
if you want
to
use other
character sets,
you
can
do
so when the
terminal
is
not
in Setup - that is
,
when displaying data from the host
or data
entered at
the
keyboard while communicating with the host.
Use the Setup command SELECTCHARSET
(an
ANSI command) to select
another
character set. Table C-1 lists the parameter entries
required
to
select each
character set. For example
,
to
select
the Rulings
character
set,
enter
Setup
and
issue:
SELECTCHARSET GO,O
Remember,
since Setup always uses the character
set
associated with
your
keyboard, you won
't
be able to
see the
new characters until you
exit
Setup.
