A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the EMG to leave
direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen mode, press any key.)
A suggested value is
Esc+A

but not simultaneously). You would specify this value as
\
x1bA
, which is
hexadecimal (
\
x
) character 27 (
1B
) followed by an
A
.
This setting allows the user to terminate the connect direct command on the
command line interface when the endpoint of the command is deviceport, tcp, or
for notes on key sequence precedence and
behavior.
Break
Sequence
A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line interface to send
a break signal to the external device. A suggested value is
Esc+B
(escape key,
then uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify
this value as
\
x1bB
, which is hexadecimal (
\
x
) character 27 (
1B
) followed by a
B

associated with the user’s login (specified here).
