Character Display Attributes, Key String Definition

Page 191 highlights

HP700/92 Emulation Key String Definition The second line of each f-key definition contains the character string that is to be displayed, executed, and/or transmitted to the host when the key or button is pressed. The string may contain alphanumeric characters, control characters, and explicit escape sequence characters entered when Display Functions mode is enabled by pressing F7 or the Display Functns button. The default f-key string begins with the characters EC which represent the escape code that is used to begin each escape sequence. The EC characters are displayed in the key definition line by pressing the Esc key or the keys Ctrl + [ together when Display Functions mode is enabled. Note that you must enter the entire escape sequence before disabling Display Functions mode (by pressing F7 again). When Display Functions is enabled, the Return key may be used to insert carriage return codes (CR) in the string. If Auto LF mode is selected in the Mode Selection function menu, Return will generate a line feed (LF) code as well as carriage return. To change an f-key/button string definition, use the Tab or Shift + Tab keys to move the cursor onto the second line (the line following LABEL definition for that key/ button) and type in the new definition which can consist of a maximum of 80 characters. When you have finished defining f-key/button strings, press the F9 key to exit the menu. To enable the new definitions and display the relevant functions on the buttons, press the F10 key. Note: The host may reset the f-key definitions to their default values if required by the application. Character Display Attributes The HP700/92 emulation incorporates various display attributes which can be enabled by host commands or from the keyboard by the user. These attributes are listed in the table below. When an attribute or set of attributes are enabled, they affect all subsequently displayed characters until an end attribute command or another attribute command is received, or the end of the line is reached. Attributes remain at the display location where they were enabled and will not move when characters are inserted or deleted. You can configure the f-keys and buttons so that they will enable these attributes when pressed. To do this, display the User Key Definition menu by pressing the keys Shift + F10 together. Use the Tab or Shift + Tab keys to position the cursor in the first field next to the number of the f-key to be defined and press F2 until the letter L for Local is displayed. Press Tab and type in the text that will appear in the display 12-15

HP700/92 Emulation
Key String Definition
The second line of each f-key definition contains the character string that is to be
displayed, executed, and/or transmitted to the host when the key or button is pressed.
The string may contain alphanumeric characters, control characters, and explicit
escape sequence characters entered when Display Functions mode is enabled by
pressing
F7
or the
Display Functns
button.
The default f-key string begins with the characters
EC
which represent the escape
code that is used to begin each escape sequence. The
EC
characters are displayed in
the key definition line by pressing the
Esc
key or the keys
Ctrl
+
[
together when
Display Functions mode is enabled. Note that you must enter the entire escape
sequence before disabling Display Functions mode (by pressing
F7
again).
When Display Functions is enabled, the
Return
key may be used to insert carriage
return codes (
CR
) in the string. If
Auto LF
mode is selected in the
Mode Selection
function menu,
Return
will generate a line feed (
LF
) code as well as carriage return.
To change an f-key/button string definition, use the
Tab
or
Shift
+
Tab
keys to move
the cursor onto the second line (the line following LABEL definition for that key/
button) and type in the new definition which can consist of a maximum of 80
characters.
When you have finished defining f-key/button strings, press the
F9
key to exit the
menu. To enable the new definitions and display the relevant functions on the
buttons, press the
F10
key.
Note:
The host may reset the f-key definitions to their default
values if required by the application.
Character Display Attributes
The HP700/92 emulation incorporates various display attributes which can be
enabled by host commands or from the keyboard by the user. These attributes are
listed in the table below.
When an attribute or set of attributes are enabled, they affect all subsequently
displayed characters until an end attribute command or another attribute command is
received, or the end of the line is reached. Attributes remain at the display location
where they were enabled and will not move when characters are inserted or deleted.
You can configure the f-keys and buttons so that they will enable these attributes
when pressed. To do this, display the User Key Definition menu by pressing the keys
Shift
+
F10
together. Use the
Tab
or
Shift
+
Tab
keys to position the cursor in the
first field next to the number of the f-key to be defined and press
F2
until the letter
L
for
L
ocal is displayed. Press
Tab
and type in the text that will appear in the display
