Black Box A/S-4 manual Vdu = New Vdu

PROTOCOL CONVERTER MODEL A/S-4

NOTE

Selection of a blank programmable VDU type may cause erroneous command characters to be sent to the operators VDU. The programmable VDU type should be added by option 3 before it is selected.

3.Add or Change Name - by entering a 3 the operator is able to add a name to or change a name from the “PROGRAMMABLE” column see figure 4. This is done when the operator’s VDU does not match one of the “FIXED” VDU’s and it allows him to define to the A/S-4 the various commands his VDU needs to operate properly (e.g., the command from the A/S-4 which will cause his VDU to clear the screen). In the example shown in figure 4, the operator has given the name “NEW VDU” to VDU A. Operator input is underlined. The 10 characters are filled out with spaces or just type carriage return. By typing the letter “H”, he has copied the characteristics of VDU H into those of “NEW VDU”. The “CURRENT” header will now show the VDU as “NEW VDU”. Using the VDU commands menu (selection C on the Main Menu) he can now change the clear screen command (or any other command) from the command copied from VDU H to whatever “NEW VDU” needs (these commands may be found in the NEW VDU manual).

4.Delete Name - By entering a 4 the operator can delete a name from the “PROGRAMMABLE” VDU list.
