FldSeparator

Factory default: ^_ (i.e. US)

This text box is used to specify the ASCII character used to indicate the end of each protected field (except the last) that is sent in Edit Mode.

To change the current definition, delete the definition displayed in the text box and type in the new one, either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character. For example, the default ASCII character US can be entered by typing the characters ^ and _, representing the keys Ctrl + _ which, when pressed together would generate the US code.

Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal value of US is 31, so this would be entered as _031. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix for code and decimal references.

BlkTerminator

Factory default: ^^ (i.e. RS)

This text box is used to specify the ASCII character sent to the host to indicate the end of a data block transmission.

To change the current definition, delete the definition displayed in the text box and type in the new one, either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character. For example, the default ASCII character RS can be entered by typing the character ^ twice, representing the keys Ctrl + ^ which, when pressed together would generate the RS code.

Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal value of RS is 30, so this would be entered as _030. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix for code and decimal references.

Terminal ID

Factory default: 70092

This specifies what is reported back to the host in response to a terminal identification request. (Note that not all features of the specified terminal may be supported.)

Clicking the arrow button will display a drop-down list box showing the available settings, 70092, 2392A, 2622A, 70094 or 70096. If you are using the keyboard, press the up or down arrow keys until the setting required is displayed. You can either select from this list or enter a different terminal identity in the text box.
