ANSI Mode Host Commands

Parameter Modification Commands
You can change the ProMotion parameter settings from the host using Escape commands.
You can issue commands for individual settings, all settings or simply report the current
settings.
The Set Defaults command resets all parameters and keys to their default settings. The Set
Parameters command enables you to change but not save parameters to memory. The Set
and Save Parameters command enables you to change and save parameters to memory.
Note: If
you
to the Parameter menu, you cannot use these
commands.

Set Parameters & Set and Save Parameters Command Notes
Both commands can specify up to twenty-three single character parameters from a fixed list (see
).
You can omit any or all of the parameters by using the semicolon as a placeholder, except in the case
of P3A (STOP BITS). P3A is only significant if specified.
P3A has the following characteristics:
You cannot substitute P3A with a placeholder. The terminal will interpret a placeholder in the P3A
position as a placeholder for P4.
You can specify P3A even if P3 has a placeholder.
In certain situations, the terminal will automatically set the number of stop-bits to either one (when
you select eight data-bits and any parity) or two (when you select seven data-bits and no parity). In
either case, the setting of P3A will have no effect.
Parameter values not specified in the Set All Parameters and Set and Save All Parameters commands
will remain unchanged.
After the terminal has processed a Set All Parameters or Set and Save All Parameters command, it will
send the new parameters setting the host as ASCII text, with each parameter followed by a carriage
return and line feed.
To send the current parameter values to the host without changing any values, simply send:
Esc [1z
Esc [0z.
