Some of the commands allow you to control the dis-

feed), others control operation of the hardware (such
as LED control and key click control) and others con-
trol external devices (Auxiliary Serial Port control and

QDATA File Download
All configurable parameters of the QTERM can be
controlled using software commands or by setting the
proper values in the QDATA file and downloading it
into the QTERM.
The only way to modify the key strings (i.e. what the
QTERM transmits when a key is pressed), or to mod-
ify the eight custom characters, is by modifying and
downloading the QDATA file.
Chapter 3 shows how to modify this file and how to
load it into your QTERM. There are also several
examples that utilize the powerful capabilities of key
strings.
