SPOW (B)
Factory default: Unselected
The setting of the SPace OverWrite option determines whether or not keyboard entered spaces overwrite existing characters. When unselected, keyboard entered spaces will overwrite existing characters.
Selecting this option will cause the SPOW latch to be enabled. The latch can then be activated by a carriage return. When activated, keyboard entered spaces will cause the cursor to move forward without deleting characters that already exist. The latch can be deactivated by a tab, line feed or
InhEolWrp (C)
Factory default: Unselected
The Inhibit End of line Wrap option determines whether characters wrap to the next line when the right margin is reached. When selected (i.e. inhibited), on reaching the right margin, the last character position will be overwritten with every new character received until a carriage return or other cursor movement command is issued.
LineTx (D)
Factory default: Unselected
The setting of this option determines whether data is sent a line or a page at a time when in Edit mode.
When this option is selected, data will be transmitted a line at a time. When unselected, data will be transmitted a page at a time. Page data will either be from the beginning of display memory or from the current cursor position.
InhHndShk (G)
InhDC2 (H)
Factory default: Unselected
The combined setting of these two options determine the type of handshaking used when blocks of data are transmitted to the host.
One of three types of handshake may be used:
1.No handshake. Blocks of data are sent immediately when the relevant transmit key is pressed.
2.DC1 handshake. Data is only sent to the host when the host sends an ASCII DC1 control code to request it.
3.DC1/DC2/DC1 handshake. The host sends an ASCII DC1 control code, to which the emulator replies by sending a DC2 code if ready to transmit. The host sends the DC1 code again to cause the data block to be transmitted.
