Introduction
A comprehensive set of user-settable operating parameters and programmable function keys makes the
HV ANSI Series terminal suitable for diverse applications. Each settable parameter and programmable
function key has a default value. These values are stored in the terminal's permanent memory.
This chapter describes each operating parameter in detail, as well as how to set the parameters and load
the default values. Chapter 4 covers programmable function keys.
Note
: You can also program the terminal remotely using ANSI host commands. For more information, see
Parameter Menu Settings
The following section describes the parameters that you can program in an HV ANSI Series terminal. A
summary (
) appears at the end of the section.
Baud Rate
This parameter sets
the number of bits per second transmitted.
The data rate can be set to: 300, 600,
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19200 baud. The default value is 9600.
Note
: Baud rates above 9600 require handshaking.
Data Bits
This parameter sets the number of data bits transmitted per character, either seven (7) or eight (8). The
default value is eight.
Note
: Depending on the Data Bits and Parity settings, the Stop Bits and Display PE parameters may not be
accessible. See
for details.
Parity
This parameter enables/disables the host’s ability to perform error checking on incoming characters
and ensure accuracy. Allowable settings are NONE, IGNORE, EVEN, ODD, MARK and SPACE. The
default value is NONE.
Selecting IGNORE will still add a parity bit to each character, but the value is indeterminate. Selecting
NONE will prevent the sending of the parity bit. In either case, the host will not perform an error check
on incoming characters.
Note
: Depending on the Data Bits and Parity settings, the Stop Bits and Display PE parameters may not be
accessible. See
