PK-232 OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
PACTime EVERY/AFTER -n- Default:AFTER 10 (1000 msec.
Mode: Packet Host: PT
Parameters:
"n" - 01 to 250 specifies 100-millisecond intervals.
EVERY - Packet time-out occurs every “n”' times 100 milliseconds.
AFTER - Packet time-out-occurs when “n” times 100 milliseconds elapse without
input from the computer or terminal.
The PACTIME parameter sets the amount of time in 100 msec increments that the PK-
232 will wait for a character to be received on the serial port before sending a
packet in Transparent Mode. The PACTIME parameter is always used in Transparent
Mode but is also used in Converse Mode if CPACTIME is ON.
When EVERY is specified, the characters you type are “packetized” every “n” times
100 milliseconds. When AFTER is specified, the characters you type are
“Packetized” when input from the terminal stops for “n” times 100 milliseconds.
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.
PACTor (PT for short) Immediate Command
Mode: Command Host: Pt
Pactor is an immediate command that switches the PK-232 into the Pactor mode of
operation. This mode is an option.
Pactor is a mode of data communication that combines some of the features of both
AMTOR and packet. The abbreviated command is PT. It has both a linked mode
called ARQ and a non-linked mode called unproto. See Chapter 11 for details.
PARity "n" Default: 3 (even)
Mode: All Host: PR
Parameters:
“n” — 0 to 3 selects a parity option from the table below.
PARITY sets the PK-232's parity for RS-232 terminal according to the table below:
0 no parity 2 no parity
1 odd parity 3 even parity
The parity bit, if present, is stripped automatically on input and is not checked
in command and Converse Modes. In Transparent Mode all eight bits (including
parity) are transmitted.
The change will not take effect until a RESTART is performed. Be sure to change
the computer or terminal to the same parity setting.
