Mode 6 Time division multiplexing - Provides automatic
multiplexing of data from peripheral devices by
continuously scanning all ports to check for characters in
the receive buffers. If a receive buffer contains data, it is
transmitted through the host port in data blocks with each
data block preceded by a port identification code.
Transmission continues until the buffer is empty or until a
user-specified data block length has been transmitted.
In addition to the modes of operation, you may select the serial port
configuration (baud rate, word size, stop bits, parity and XON/XOFF)
for each port, the port select code, the message terminate character,
and the data block length. These configuration changes are
accomplished by entering the menu-driven configuration mode.
Changes are saved in non-volatile memory. The Model 24H will
translate between peripheral devices of different configurations.
Figure 1
below shows six applications, one for each mode of operation.
