HP
Terminal Test - F5
When this button or F5 key is pressed, the HP
Memory Lock - F6
This enables data to be locked on the display so that it is not scrolled off the top of the window when display memory is full. Once enabled, it can only be disabled if this button or F6 key is pressed again, a reset is performed, or the emulation is exited.
Placing the cursor on the first line and enabling Memory Lock will prevent data from automatically scrolling off the top of the display when display memory is full. Instead, the message 'MEMORY FULL Press RETURN to clear' will be displayed. You may use the cursor keys to edit data already displayed. To disable the Memory Lock and continue entering new data, press F6 or click the button again and position the cursor immediately below the last line.
The Memory Lock function may also be used to lock a specific number of lines from the top of the display, leaving the remaining lines to scroll past them. This is useful when you want column headings or instructions to remain on the display. To lock a specific number of lines, place the cursor on the last line to be locked and press F6 or click the button. The lines from the top of the display down to the cursor line will now be locked.
Note: You can edit data contained in locked lines but if new data is inserted it may cause data on the last line of the locked region to be pushed down into the scrolling region.
Display Functions - F7
This button and the F7 key toggles the Display Functions mode on or off. The effect of activating Display Functions mode depends on whether the emulation is in Local or Remote mode. In Local mode, activating Display Functions mode will cause subsequently received control codes and escape sequences to be displayed on the screen but not actioned. Exceptions to this rule are the commands issued when the button or F7 key is pressed and the carriage return and line feed commands, which will be executed.
In Remote mode, activating Display Functions mode will cause subsequently received control codes and escape sequences to be transmitted to the host but not actioned locally. Exceptions to this rule are the commands issued when the button or F7 key is pressed and the carriage return and line feed commands, which will be executed. If the Local Echo option is enabled in the HP Settings dialog box (see the Setup Menus chapter), commands will be displayed on the screen as well as transmitted to the host.
Note: If the XmitFnctn (A) option is selected in the HP Settings dialog box, the button and F7 key will not deactivate Display Functions mode.
