executed while the alternate set is selected will not change the set used
for labeling until the standard set is selected.
A command CS with no parameters defaults to set 0. A CS command
with an invalid first parameter will set an error condition (error 3), and
the command will be ignored.
The Designate Alternate Character Set
Instruction, CA
DESRIPTIUN The designate alternate character set instruction, CA,
provides the means of designating one of the five character sets (0
through 4) as the alternate character set.
USES The instruction can be used to provide an additional character
set that can be easily accessed from a program, especially when a
single label contains characters found in two different sets.
SYN TAX CA character set number (terminator)
EXPLANATIONThe character set number may be from 0 through 4.
The set designated by the CA instruction is used for all labeling opera­
tions when the alternate set is selected by the SA instruction or by the
control character shift—out(decimal equivalent 14) in a label string.
Character set 0 is automatically designated as the alternate character
set whenever the plotter is initialized or set to default values.
A CA command executed while the alternate set is selected will imme­
diately change the character set used for labeling. CA commands
executed while the standard set is selected will not change the set used
for labeling until the alternate set is selected.
A command CA with no parameters defaults to set 0. A CA command
with an invalid first parameter will set an error condition (error 3), and
the command will be ignored.
The Select Standard Set Instruction, SS
DESCRIPTION The select standard set instruction, SS, provides the
means of selecting the standard set designated by the CS instruction as
the character set to be used for all labeling.
The command may be used to shift from the currently desig­
nated alternate character set to the currently designated standard
character set so characters in another set may be accessed. Using the
control character shift-in inside a label string is equivalent to executing
this command.
