The blink mode blinks the line at the rate defined for LED
blinking in the QDATA file. The buzzer mode causes the
line to go on (high) when the internal buzzer is on, and to
go off (low) when the internal buzzer is off. The toggle
mode reverses the current state of the line. If the line is
blinking and a toggle command is sent, the line will be tog-
gled from its current state and will remain there (i.e., it will
stop blinking).
2.2.41
Set Buzzer Duration -
]
e #
This sets the duration for a “beep” command. The beep
command can either be a Bell (07h, ^G) or the Buzzer On/
Off/Beep command for beep (
]
O B). The valid range for #
is 41h through 7Fh (“A” to DEL). See Table 1-2 for the
duration set by each character.
2.2.42
Set Key Click Duration -
]
f #
This sets the length of the key click, which is actually a
very short beep from the buzzer. The valid range for # is
41h through 7Fh (“A” to DEL). See Table 1-2 for the dura-
tion set by each character. Use the Key Click/-Repeat Mode
command (
]
a) to disable the key click.
2.2.43
Set Key Repeat Rate -
]
g #
This sets the key repeat rate. The valid range for # is 41h
through 7Fh (“A” to DEL). See Table 1-2 for the rate set by
each character. See the Key Click/Repeat Mode command
(
]
a) to globally disable key repeats. Use the QDATA file
to disable key repeats for selected keys.
2.2.44
Set LED Blink Rate -
]
h #
This sets the LED blink rate and the PENDING mode LCD
flash rate. The LEDs and the LCD flash at the same rate..
The valid range for # is 41h through 7Fh (“A” to DEL). See
Table 1-2 for the rate set by each code. See also LEDs On/
Off/Blink (
]
P). See Chapter 5 for more information on
PENDING mode.
2.2.45
Save Parameters to EEPROM -
]
i
This command causes all parameters to be stored to
EEPROM. Any QDATA defaults which have been modi-
fied by software commands will be replaced by their modi-
fied values.
Note that the EEPROM used in the QTERM has a guaran-
teed write endurance of 10,000 write cycles. Although this
is far more than most applications will ever require, if you
use this command frequently in your application, you
should take this endurance into consideration.
2.2.46
Auxiliary Serial Port Control -
]
j #
This command is used to control the auxiliary serial port, if
one is installed. The Auxiliary Port operation is mostly
transparent to the QTERM: data sent to the Auxiliary Port
is simply transmitted as received, and data received from
theAuxiliary Port is transmitted directly to the host. The
Auxiliary serial port does not support handshaking, which
requires that the host interface run at 1200 baud or faster.
The are three valid values for #:
@ -
disable receive from auxiliary port
A -
enable receive from auxiliary port
B -
transmit a string to the auxiliary port
DISABLE RECEIVE FROM AUXILIARY PORT: if # =
“@”, anything which the auxiliary port receives will be
ignored.
ENABLE RECEIVE FROM AUXILIARY PORT: if # = “A”,
anything which is received by the auxiliary port will be
transmitted to the host. Bytes are transmitted exactly as
received, so the host will receive the data as if the device
connected to the auxiliary port was transmitting directly to
the host serial port.
TRANSMIT TO AUXILIARY PORT: if # = “B”, then the
host is transmitting data to the auxiliary port. The complete
form of this command has this format:
]
j B * . . . .
where * indicates how many bytes are to follow in the
“. . . .” string.
The first four characters (
]
j B *) are not transmitted to the
auxiliary port; the “. . . .” string is transmitted without any
modification.
The character * must have a value of 41h through 7Fh (“A”
to DEL), which indicates that the string will be from 1 byte
to 63 bytes long. See Table 1-2 for a listing of values for *
and the corresponding string length.
As an example of using this QTERM command, consider
the situation where a Hewlett-Packard SmartWand bar-
code reader is connected to the Auxiliary Port. To send a
