PACTime EVERYIAFTER n
Mode: packet
'cn"
0 to
250 specifies 100 mS increments.
EVERY
packet
time-out occurs
every "rz" x 100
mS.
AFTER
packet
time-out occurs
when
"n"
x 100
mS
passes
without
input from the computer.
The PACTIME
parameter
sets the amolrnt
of time,
in 100 mS increments, that
the PK-96
will wait for a
character
to
be
entered before sending a
packet in
the
Transparent mode.
The PACTIME
parameter
is also
used in Converse mode if CPACTIME
is
ON.
When
EVERYis
specified,
the characters
you
type are
"packetized"
every
n x 100 mS.
When AFTER
is
specified, the characters
you
type are
"packetized"
when
input fiom the terminal
stops alier
waiting rr
x
100 mS.
The PACTIME timer
is not
started
until the first character or byte
is entered.
A value of 0
(zero)
for
"n"
means
packets
are sent
with no wait time.
PARity n
Default:3(even)
Mode:
packet
Host:
PR
"n"
0 to
3 selects a
parity
option.
PARITY sets the PK-96's
parity
fbr RS-232 tcrminal according to the
table below:
0
=
no
parity
1
=
odd
parity
2
=
no
parity
-7
=
even
parity
The
parity
bit,
if
present,
is stripped automatically on
input and isn't checked
in
Command
and Converse
modes. But in Transparent
mode,
all eight
bits
(including
parity)
are transmitted.
The
change
won't
take effect
until
you
enter RESTART. Be sure to change
the computer or terminal
to the
same
parity
setting after
you've
entered RESTART.
Default: AFTER l0

PASs n
Mode:
packet
0 to
$7F
(O
to 127 decimal) specifies an ASCII character
code.
PASS
selects the
ASCII
character
"n
"
used for the
"pass"
input editing commands.
The
PASS character
signals that the fbllowing character is to be included
in
a
packet
text string. For example,
if
you're
typing
in
text and want to enter three
(RETURN)'s
so
you
can
put
a
line
space
between two
paragraphs,
you'd
do
this:
"...here's
the end of the
firsr
paragraph."
(CTRL-14+(RETURN)+(CTRL-\4
(RETURN).
"Novv
rhis
line will appear
after a
Line space."
The line will appear at the other station
like
this:
"...here's
the end of the
first
paragraph."
"Now
this Line will appear after a
line space."
If you
had
just
pressed
(RETURN)
at the end of the
word
"paragraph,"
you
would have forced a
packet
to
be sent. Press
(RETURN)
again, and
you
would have forced an empty
packet
to be sent.
Press
(RETURN)
