Echoes
You may see to characters on your screen for every typed character.
cmd:RREESSEETT
Both your computer and your PK-232 are echoing your typed characters.
o
Type:
ECHO OFF
to stop the PK-232's echoes.
If you later use your PK-232 with a different computer or terminal program, you may see
nothing displayed when you type. In that case, set
ECHO ON
.
2.3.2
Line Feeds and Carriage Returns
If the lines displayed appear to be double spaced, your computer is adding an extra line
feed <LF> when it displays a carriage return <CR>.
o
Set
ALFDISP OFF
to stop your PK-232 from adding an <LF>.
If you change equipment you may have to set
ALFDISP ON
to restore the PK-232's auto-
matic line feeds.
2.3.3
Screen Width
The screen width default value is 80, the width of many CRT displays. The PK-232 sends
an extra <CR>, or <CR><LF> if
ALSDSISP
is
ON
, when 80 characters have been dis-
played on a line.
If your computer does not automatically break long lines:
o
Set
ACRDISP
(the screen width) to the width of your display.
o
For a computer using a TV set for a display, set
ACRDISP
to
40
.
If your computer does automatically beak long lines:
o
Set
ACRDISP
to
0
to disable this feature. Otherwise, you will get two <CR> when
the line wraps around.
2.3.4
Display Speeds
A few computers will lose the first characters of a line when several lines are displayed in
rapid succession.
o
Give the computer more time between lines by setting
NUCR ON
(delay after <CR>)
or
NULF ON
(delay after <LF>).
The delay is adjusted by NULLS, which sets a number of character-times for the delay.
