FOREWORD The Ampex 230 plus desktop video display terminal is an input/output peripheral capable of interfacing with a variety of computer systems and peripheral devices. The Ampex 230 plus terminal has its own set of operating characteristics ("native mode"), is fully compatible with the Ampex 230 terminal, and emulates the following terminals: Manufacturer ADDS Ampex Corp. Hazeltine TeleVideo Systems, Inc.
Operating Modes The terminal may be operated in a variety of "modes", which may be selected from the computer or via the keyboard. The available modes include: Mode Description Block Stores a block of data entered from the keyboard in the terminal display memory. Data may then be edited "on-screen" - before being transmitted to the host. Conversation Transmits data to the host computer as it is entered from the keyboard on a character-bycharacter basis.
Scrolling A variety of scrolling options may be set, including: Extended Page A 48-line or 96-line page may be scrolled without loss of data. Flip Data exceeding the last line of a page may continue to scroll on the same page or "flip" to a new page. Scroll Rate Data may be scrolled at any of four smooth rates or at a "jump scroll" rate.
INSTALLATION 1.1.1 AC Power Cord and Plug The Ampex 230 plus terminal is equipped with either a 115 VAC/60 Hz power plug (for use in the United States) or a 230 VAC/50 Hz power plug (for use outside the United States). Make sure that the cord and plug are appropriate for the power output you intend to use (Figure 1-3). NOTE: If you will be using the terminal in either the United Kingdom or Australia, you may need to customize the power plug in order to fit the receptacle.
1.2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY UNIT The Display unit consists of a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) mounted on a pedestal (Figure 12). The Display tilts and swivels for the most comfortable viewing angle. The pedestal holds the ON/OFF switch for the terminal, two "ports" for attaching the unit to other equipment, and a "port" for connecting the keyboard to the display unit (see Figure 1-4).
INSTALLATION 1.2.1 The Display Screen The Display Screen is where characters you type or characters received from the host computer appear. Twenty-six rows may be displayed (Figure 1 -5), divided as follows: Row Top Middle 24 rows Bottom Contents Status Line (reports terminal's status) Typed or received data User Line (for operator or application program entries) Underneath the lower right side of the CRT is a brightness control(see Figure 1 -4).
XJL-VX I IVJIM 1.2.1.1 Status Line The Status Line (top of the screen) reports on the operating status of the terminal: caps lock, time of day, printing, operation attributes ("modes"), video attributes, DSR status, and cursor position. See Figure 1 -6 for a complete listing of possible status entries. The Status Line may be turned off (Set-Up, Line 1: STAT OFF). The CAPS indicator may also be turned off (Set-Up, Line 3: CAPS OFF).
INSTALLATION 1.2.2 Interface Cable Connections The Ampex 230 plus terminal has two standard RS232C serial port interfaces (Figure 1-4). One, the "PRIMARY" port, is used to connect the terminal to a host computer. The other, the "PRINTER" port, is used to connect the terminal directly to a printer (a printer may be connected directly to the computer). To connect the terminal to the computer and/or printer, use a standard RS232C serial cable with a male connector on the terminal end.

SECTION I 1.3 ON/OFF Switch The ON/OFF (power) switch is a rocker-type switch located to the right rear of the unit. 1.3.1 Power On Procedures When you turn on the terminal, it performs a self-test to make sure it is working properly.
INSTALLATION IF THE SELF-TEST UNCOVERS A PROBLEM, one of the following messages may appear: CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR DATA RAM ERROR ROM ERROR DISPLAY RAM ERROR If you get CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR, do the following: press SHIFT/NO SCROLL (= SETUP) press SHIFT/D press SHIFT/NO SCROLL (= SETUP) pressSHIFT/S. turn the terminal off and then back on. If the message does not appear, you are ready to proceed. If the message reappears, contact your service representative.
SECTION I 1.5 Locking and Unlocking Keyboard It is possible to "lock" the keyboard. If the keyboard is locked, "KB LK" appears on the Status Line. Typing or pressing any key (or combination) is ignored, except for CAPS LOCK CTRL/SHIFT/RESET SHIFT/NO SCROLL (= SETUP) To lock the keyboard - Via the keyboard, press SHIFT/NO SCROLL (=SETUP) and change KB ON toKBOFF(Line4),or - enter or receive from the host the sequence ESC # To unlock the keyboard a. Do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. b. c.
SETTING UP SECTION II SETTING UP INTRODUCTION The Ampex 230 plus terminal is designed to operate in a variety of ways, attached to a variety of equipment. In order to make sure that the terminal will work properly with your particular configuration of equipment, you must first set it up; i.e., you must customize it to work with your equipment. This section explains the options available in Set-up mode, how to enter and exit Set-up mode, how to change settings, and how to save the changes. 2.
SECTION II 2.1.2 Modifying Parameters The fields on each set-up line denote an option which determines how the terminal will behave when you exit Set-up mode. The nature of the parameter is suggested by the particular value displayed in the field; e.g., "USA" is one of the settings for the (implied) option, desired national character set. The setting visible in a field when you first enter Set-Up mode is the setting in effect.
SETTING UP 2.1.5 Retrieving Previous Values Because changes to parameters are not permanent until you save them, you can recall the set of last-saved values. To recall last-saved values, enter SHIFT/R while viewing any of the Set-Up lines. The settings will be restored and the terminal will exit the Set-Up mode. 2.1.6 » Retrieving Default Values You can also quickly return all settings to their initial, or "default", values (the ones set at the factory).

If you want to use tab stops, you must first set them. Tab stops may be set in any column. Tab stops may be set or cleared in one of two ways, in Set-Up or by using an escape sequence. In Set-Up To set a tab stop, 1. Move the cursor to the desired column. 2. Press the space bar. A "T" appears in the column. To clear an existing tab stop, 1.
SECTION III OPERATING AND PROGRAMMING THE TERMINAL INTRODUCTION This section explains how to operate and program the Ampex 230 plus terminal using its native characteristics; i.e., when it is not emulating another terminal. Emulating another terminal is discussed in Section IV. 3.1 OPERATING MODES The Ampex 230 plus terminal has basically three "operating modes"; two of these allow communication between the terminal and a host computer.
SECTION III 3.1.1 Communications Mode Proper display of data on the terminal screen depends in part on the communications setup of the host computer. In particular, host computers may or may not send back ("echo") for display on the terminal's screen data entered via the keyboard and transmitted to the host. If the host does not echo, then the terminal must transmit both to the host and to the screen. Proper display then depends on choosing the right "communication mode" for the terminal.
OPERATION To turn on Local Editing, in Set-Up (Line 3), choose LOCE, or enter the sequence ESC k To turn off Local Editing (return to Duplex Editing), in Set-Up (Line 3), choose DUPE, or enter the sequence ESC I (lowercase I). 3.2 DISPLAYING DATA There are several choices which affect how all data is displayed on the screen. 3.2.
A particular video attribute or combination is instated by a three-character escape sequence: ESCG n where "n" is the value associated with the attribute or combination. associated with each attribute is given in Table 3-3. The value of "n" The effect of the sequence depends on whether attributes are embedded or not embedded. Table 3-3. Video Attribute Escape Sequences Escape Sequence Attribute ESCG...
OPERATION 3.2.2.1 Embedded Attributes If a video attribute is embedded, it changes the appearance of all characters in its "range". Data already in the range or data entered into the range appears with the assigned attribute. An embedded attribute's range is either the column position* occupied by a different embedded attribute or the "end" (of the current line or current page, depending on the setting in Set-Up, Line 1).
SECTION ill FOR EXAMPLE, if row 1 reads: Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their terminal. to make "Now" and "all" flashing, 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 7. 8. Move the cursor to column 1. Enter the sequence ESC. 8 (for non embedded attributes) Enter the sequence ESC G 2 (typed characters will appear flashing). Type "Now". Move the cursor to column 21. Type "all". Enter the sequence ESC G 0 (typed characters will appear normal).
OPERATION 3.2.2 Displaying All Characters Usually, only alphabet and numeric characters are displayed when entered. Pressing the CTRL key, the ESC key, the Backspace key or similar keys enters a code but no character is displayed. These characters may be displayed however (see Appendix H for a list of the characters and their meaning).
SECTION III Double-Wide A double-wide character is formed using adjacent columns on the same line: each letter fills two columns. NOTE: when you specify double-wide characters for a row, any characters in the right half of the row are lost. To enter double-wide characters: 1. With the cursor on the desired row, enter the sequence ESC p 1 2. Type in the desired characters. To return a row of double-wide characters to single-wide characters, 1.
OPERATION 3.2.4 Special Graphics Characters The terminal is also capable of generating special line and block graphics characters. In other words, pressing a key will produce not an alphabet or numeric character, but a graphics character. To turn on the graphics mode, in Set-Up (Line 2), choose GRAPH ON; or enter the sequence ESC $ To turn off the graphics mode, in Set-Up (Line 2), choose GRAPH OFF; or enter the sequence ESC % The graphic generated by each key is given in Figure 3-1 .
SECTION III 3.3 Scrolling and Flipping The contents of the terminal's memory (what you enter at the keyboard and data received from the host) are displayed on the screen. The contents of the screen are stored in the terminal's memory. "Scrolling" is the process of moving data from one line to an adjacent line (up or down). Data scrolls past the terminal's screen, like a film scrolls through a film projector. Data also scrolls in memory: as new data is received, existing data is pushed "up" a line.
OPERATION The 96 lines of memory may be set up as 1,2, or 4 pages (see Figure 3-3). 1 page 96 lines 2 pages 48 lilines/page 4 Pages 24 lines/page Figure 3-3. Alternative Page Divisions of Memory Received data scrolls only on the current page, i.e., the page on which the cursor is located. Thus, the size of a-page determines how much new data can be stored before existing data is lost.
SECTION Because the screen is a window, the line of data which scrolls off the screen need not be scrolling out of memory. And the line of data which scrolls out of memory need not be the one scrolling off screen (see Figure 3-4). The distinction here is important: what scrolls off the screen but remains in memory can be redisplayed; what scrolls out of memory is "lost", it cannot be redisplayed.
OPERATION 3.3.2 No Scroll Scrolling (]Q memory) may be turned off. If scrolling is off, data exceeding the last line of the page (i.e., typed data or received data which comes after the entry in the last column of the last line of the page) OVERWRITES data already on the page, beginning at the HOME position. (See Figure 3-5.) Data in memory If SCROLL is OFF, data page overwrites existing data beginning at row 1, column 1 of the page. Incoming data Figure 3-5.
SECTION III 3.3.3 Customizing Scrolling Ordinarily, the area of the screen in which data scrolls is the entire 24 rows; and the lines of memory in which data scrolls is the current page. For example, if the cursor is on page 2 when lines per page is 48, then the scrolling area of memory is lines 49 through 96. Scrolling can be customized in two ways. One way, defining a scrolling region, is used to restrict the area of the screen, and the related area in memory, in which data may scroll.
OPERATION NOTE If lines per page is 24, the row number is the same as the line number (cursor location). In all other instances, it is necessary to count in order to determine the (decimal) number of a row. NOTE further Once a scrolling region is defined, cursor location is determined by the scroll region. E.g., the first line of the scroll region is identified as line 1, the second line (if any) as line 2, and so on.
SECTION III 3.3.3.2 Locking Lines Locking a line simultaneously excludes from scrolling the row on the screen on which the cursor appears the associated line in memory on which the cursor is located. Any collection of rows may be locked; up to a total of 23. The associated line(s) in memory, i.e., the line on the row when the row is locked, is excluded from scrolling. In other words, the lines in locked rows remain on the screen when the page is on screen. All other lines of the page scroll.
OPERATION 48 lines/page 24 lines/page Area of memory in which data will scroll Area of screen in which data will scroll < - Lines of page 2 ^ that will scroll Figure 3-7. Locking Lines Example: Suppose that Lines/page is 24. To lock rows 10,15,19, and 20, move the cursor to row 10 and enter the sequence ESC ! 1 move the cursor to each of the other rows and enter the sequence In this situation, lines 10,15,19, and 20 are locked, i.e., excluded from scrolling. Only the unlocked lines scroll.
SECTION III 3.3.4 Flipping from Page to Page Ordinarily, data exceeding the last line of a page is written on the same page -- regardless of whether scrolling is ON or OFF. The terminal may be set so that data exceeding the last line of a page is written on the next page; i.e., so that the terminal "flips" to a new page to store the data (and the screen flips to a new page to display the data). See Figure 3-8. NOTE: Data exceeding the last line of the last page flips to the first page.
OPERATION ENTERING AND EDITING DATA 3.4 Text entered via the keyboard or received from a host can be edited on the Ampex 230 plus terminal in a variety of contexts. In some cases the effect of editing depends on whether or not write-protection is in effect (Section 3.4.1), whether characters you type are inserted or replace displayed characters (Section 3.4.3.1), and on page characteristics (Section 3.3). These differences will be noted when applicable. 3.4.
SECTION III 3.4.2 Moving the Cursor 3.4.2.1 Cursor Keys The cursor keys control the movement of the cursor. The effect of each key depends on how you have Set-Up the terminal (see Section II). Table 3-4. Cursor Keys Note: PROT ON means Protect (Text) mode is on (PRT displays on the Status Line). If Setting is Effect Kev Code ARROW KEYS DOWN CTRL/V Moves cursor down one line in same column. If cursor is on last line of page, cursor does not move.
OPERATION Kev RIGHT Code CTRL/L If Setting is Effect Moves cursor one column right. WRAP ON If cursor is in last column of line, moves cursor to first column of next line. & SCROLL ON If cursor is in last column of last line of page, all lines of data scroll up one and cursor moves to first column of last line of page. & SCROLL OFF or PROTON If cursor is in last column of last line of page, cursor moves to HOME, no scrolling occurs.
SECTION III Table 3-4 (cont'd). Cursor Keys Kev HOME LINEFEED Code CTRL/A If Setting is PROTOFF Effect Moves cursor to HOME position (row 1, column 1) PROTON Moves cursor to beginning of first unprotected field on the page. CTRL/J PAGE ESCK SHIFT/PAGE ESCJ RETURN CTRL/M Moves cursor down one line in same column. SCROLL ON If cursor on last line of page, all lines of data move up one; cursor remains on last line of page in same column.
OPERATION Key TAB Code CTRL/I If Setting is CR=CR Effect &PROTOFF Moves cursor to first column of the same line & PROTON Moves cursor to first unprotected column of the same line. If the line is protected, moves cursor to next unprotected column on the page. PROTOFF Moves cursor to next tab stop; ignored if there is no next tab stop. PROTON [Field Tab] ESCi & FLIP OFF Moves cursor to the beginning of the next unprotected field on the current page.
SECTION III 3.4.2.2 Moving the Cursor Using an Escape Sequence An escape sequence can also be used to move the cursor (known as "addressing" the cursor) to any location on the current page or to another page. Moving on the Current Page Either of two methods may be used to move the cursor on the current page. One method uses an ASCII conversion of the (decimal) number of the row or column; the other uses the number itself.
OPERATION Moving to Another Page An escape sequence can also be used to move the cursor to another page. Two methods are available: for moving the cursor to an adjacent page, for moving it to a particular location on any other page. Moving to an Adjacent Page To move the cursor to the next page, enter the sequence ESC K » The cursor moves to its last position, if any, or to the HOME position on the next page.
SECTION III 3.4.2.4 Entering Data at the Hidden Cursor Data may be entered even if the cursor is hidden, i.e., even if the cursor is not on the displayed page. To enter data to a hidden cursor, enter the sequence where ESC - D p r c text CTRL/Y p r c* text CTRL/Y denotes the page (0 = page 1,1= page 2, etc.) denotes the row (in ASCII)(see Appendix G) denotes the column (in ASCII) (see Appendix G) represents the text entered at the cursor denotes the end of the text entered.
OPERATION To set the editing mode in Set-Up (Line 1), For Edit Line Edit Page Insert Line Insert Page choose EDTL EDTP INSL INSP To set the Editing mode using Escape Sequences, set the effect of typing and the range independently. To set the effect of typing, EOT Insert Replace Enter sequence ESCq ESCr Or press CTRL/CHAR INSERT CTRL/CHAR DELETE Enter sequence ESC N ESCO Or press CTRL/LINE INSERT CTRL/LINE DELETE To set the range, Far Page Line 3.4.3.

Kev Code If Setting is Effect CHAR DELETE ESCW PROT OFF Deletes character at the cursor position, moves all following characters one column left. InsertCharacters fill ending columns vacated by moving characters.
OPERATION Note also: The default Insert-Character is space. To change the Insert-Character to some other character, enter the sequence ESC e where x denotes the desired (alphabet or numeric) Insert-Character. Key CTRL/ERASE LINE CTRL/ERASE PAGE LINE DELETE LINE INSERT Code ESC t ESC y ESCR ESC E If Setting is PROT OFF Effect Erases all characters from cursor position to end of line. Null characters replace erased characters.
SECTION III 3.5 CLEARING DATA There are several ways to clear data from the screen and/or host's memory. Table 3-6 lists different ways to clear data. Note: The default Insert-Character is space. To change the Insert-Character to some other character, enter the sequence ESC e x where x denotes the desired (alphabet or numeric) character NOTE If Protect (Text) mode is OFF, CLEAR-unprotected commands work like CLEAR-all commands: they clear all characters.
OPERATION Table 3-6. Clear Commands Code Clear Unprotected to Nulls ESC : Clears all unprotected data on the page to null characters. Clear All to Nulls ESC* CTR17CLEAR Clears all data on the page to null characters, resets Protect Mode and Write-Protect Mode to OFF. Clear Unprotected to Half Intensity InsertCharacter ESC, Clear Unprotected to Insert-Character CTRL/Z CLEAR ESC + or ESC ; Clears all unprotected data on the page with Insert-Character.
3.6.2 Using the Function Keys Pressing a function key or pressing SHIFT/function-key transmits a three-character sequence: SOH (start of header) = CTRL/A, the ASCII character associated with the function key, and a CR (carriage return). The ASCII character transmitted by each function key is given in Table 3-7. Table 3-7.

SECTION III 3.6.3 Executing a Function Key from the Host The action of a function key may also be initiated by the host. To execute a function key from the host, send to the terminal the sequence where 3.7 ESC . A p1 p1 denotes the function key to execute (see Table 3-8) SENDING Data entered while the terminal is in BLOCK mode is not transmitted to the host until you SEND it. (NOTE: If the terminal is not in BLOCK mode and you try to SEND, only the particular escape sequence is sent.
OPERATION Table 3-11. Effect of SEND Commands Command Send Line Unprotected Effect Transmits all unprotected characters on a line, from column 1 through cursor position. [Cursor must be on the line to be transmitted.] ASCII code FS (1C hex) is sent in place of each protected field and an end-of-message character is sent at the end of transmission. Send Page Unprotected Transmits all unprotected characters on page, from HOME through cursor position.
SECTION III 3.7.1 Programming Delimiters Depending upon the particular SEND command, the terminal transmits a delimiter to signify the existence of a protected field, end of each line, start of each protected field, end of each protected field, and end of the message. The default values for each of these are given in Table 3-12. Table 3-12.
OPERATION 3.7.2 Programming the SEND Key You can change the effect of pressing SEND or SHIFT/SEND. To program the SEND key, enter the sequence 0 ESC where x y x y denotesthe SEND key to be programmed (1=SEND, 2=SH I FT/SEND), denotes the code to be transmitted (see Table 3-13). Table 3-13.
btCTION III 3.8 PRINTING Data may be printed by sending it (via the auxiliary port) to a printer attached to the terminal. During printing, a message appears on the Status Line to indicate the print command used. The printer can communicate with the host if the terminal's printer (auxiliary) port is set for "bidirectional printing". In Set-Up (Line 5), choose BIDIR ON.
OPERATION 3.9 PROGRAMMING THE EDITING KEYS You may change the effect of pressing an editing, cursor-moving, or control key by redefining the code transmitted when the key is pressed. The new code may be one normally sent by one of the other editing, cursor-moving, or control keys or may be one used by a particular application. To program an editing key, enter the sequence ESC where a,b,c 0 m a b c m denotes the key to be programmed* (see Table 3-16, Table 3-17) the hex codes for the desired effect.
