The Send-Receive Mode command sets and resets the Send-Receive Mode, which controls the
Local Echo feature of the TCS. The Local Echo feature echoes user input from the optional
keyboard to the TCS. Touch cell reports and other TCS-to-host strings are not affected (and are
never echoed locally).
•
When the Send-Receive Mode is reset, the Local Echo feature is turned on. User input from
the keyboard is sent to both the host and the TCS; the TCS interprets the input as if it had
been sent (echoed) by the host. This relieves the host from the burden of echoing characters
to the TCS.
•
When the Send-Receive Mode is set, the Local Echo feature is turned off. User input from
the keyboard is sent only to the host; the input is not interpreted by the TCS. The host can, at
its own discretion, echo the input back to the TCS.
The user can set or reset the Send-Receive Mode by setting the Local Echo parameter within the
Setup Screen to "off" or "on", respectively.
NOTES
1. The Send-Receive Mode and the Local Echo parameter both control the Local Echo feature. However,
they operate as opposites. That is, the Local Echo feature is off when the Local Echo parameter is off and
the Send-Receive Mode is set. Likewise, the Local Echo feature is on when the Local Echo parameter is on
and the Send-Receive Mode is reset.
2. Locally echoed information is always echoed to the Displayed Screen, even while the host has selected a
stored screen for editing. This allows the TCS to provide proper visual feedback via the display to the user
even while the host is working with an invisible stored screen.

The user sets or resets the Send-Receive Mode (and thus the Local Echo feature) by entering the
Setup Screen and setting the Local Echo parameter to one of the following values:
•
on (Local Echo feature is on and Send-Receive Mode is reset.)
•
off (Local Echo feature is off and Send-Receive Mode is set.)
