______________________________________________________ 

 

Once the program has been started up, the terminal operates as a stand-alone unit, storing 
transaction data in the RAM disk area or linked to a host/personal computer. 
 

1.2 Subsystems 

 
The following describes several subsystems and related I/O interface functions, the DOS manager 
and file manager functions. Detailed calling process is explained in the Programming Reference 
Guide included  in this binder. 
 
 

1.2.1 Keypad 

Subsystem 

 
The keypad subsystem scans the key matrix, converts the scan code to its associated key value and 
stores the value in the keyboard input buffer for program utilization. The table below shows 
hexadecimal values assigned to each key.

1.2.2 Display 

Subsystem 

 
The PT630 display subsystem supports a character oriented 

8-line by 20-character or 4-line by 16-

character

 LCD display. The origin (0,0) is always at the top-left hand corner. This subsystem 

provides the program interface functions to display characters, set cursor position, get cursor 
position and clear screen display.
