2.6 CLOCK COMMANDS:
The SWL includes a real time clock with a 4 digit display of hours
and minutes, and a 3 character time zone. When the unit is first turned
on the clock is reset to 00:00. You can set the clock to start at any time
by means of the ‘CTRL K’ command. For example, initialize the clock
to start at 1758GMT,
TYPE: ‘CTRL K’ (CLOCK SET COMMAND—CLOCK
DISPLAY WILL FREEZE)
TYPE: 1758GMT (DESIRED TIME AND ZONE)
TYPE: ‘CLR/HOME’ (THIS STARTS THE CLOCK)
The clock will be restarted at 1758GMT as soon as you hit the
‘CLR/HOME’ key (or any non-numeric key) and the video line will
display:
17:58 GMT
The clock obtains its timing reference from the CPU Crystal fre­
quency and should maintain good accuracy. The clock will have to be
reset if power is lost.
The system’s clock time can be inserted in the text buffer by means
of the ‘CTRL C’ command. Type ‘CTRL C’ and observe that the clock
time is displayed on the lower half of the screen if you are in the text
mode. If you turn up the monitor volume, you can hear the code being
sent.
2.7 MEMORY STORE/RETRIEVE COMMANDS:
The SWL includes a number of user programmable memories.
These are useful for storing phrases and comments that are used often.
There are 8 message memories of 512 characters each, 2 ID memories of
64 characters each and 2 Selective print memories of 11 characters each.
You can store messages at any time, even during a text print.
You can store your name or date into the ID memory by means of
the ‘CTRL £ ’ command. For example, to store the date, 19 Oct 85,
TYPE: ‘CTRL £ ’ (‘HOLD CTRL’ AND PRESS *£’ KEY
NOTHING SHOWS ON SCREEN)
TYPE: ‘SPACEBAR’ (PUTS A WORD SPACE)
TYPE: 19 OCT 84
TYPE: ‘CLR/HOME’ (EXITS MESSAGE STORE MODE
PRINTS ])
As you type the date in, it will be displayed above the split-line.
You can correct typing errors by means of the ‘INST/DEL’ key. To
