User's Manual

This option must only be selected if you are going to use the QEDIT application. It overcomes a
bug within QEDIT that ignores the LF character if the terminal transmits CR/LF. Inserting a NULL
after the CR character cures the problem.
●
Start column
Factory default: 1
This enables you to specify the start column for transmitted data when no logical start-of-text
pointer is present and the Return or Enter keys are pressed in Modify Line or Modify All
mode.
Usually a start-of-text pointer is automatically generated to designate the leftmost character in the
current line if it is the last line of data in display memory. This pointer will remain in display
memory until the line is deleted. If the line has no start-of-text pointer, data transmission will begin
at the start column specified by this option. The column range is from 1 to 80 inclusive.
NOTE: The setting of this option may be temporarily redefined using one of the Margin/Tab/
Col function keys. Refer to the section
Margins, Tabs & Start Column on page 108 for details.
●
Return definition
Factory default: ^M (i.e. CR)
This enables you to define the function of the Return key. Up to two characters may be used to
define the key. If a second character is a space, it will be ignored.
To change the current definition, delete the definition displayed in the text box and type in the new
one, either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character.
For example, the default code for the Return key function, CR (carriage return), can be entered
by typing the characters ^ and M, representing the keys Ctrl + M which, when pressed together
would generate the CR code.
Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore
character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal
value of CR is 13, so this would be entered as _013.
●
Field separator
Factory default: ^_ (i.e. US)
This specifies the ASCII character used to indicate the end of each protected field (except the last)
that is sent in Edit mode.
To change the current definition, delete the definition displayed in the text box and type in the new
one, either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character. For
example, the default ASCII character US can be entered by typing the characters ^ and _,
representing the keys Ctrl + _ which, when pressed together would generate the US code.
Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore
character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal
value of US is 31, so this would be entered as _031.
●
Block terminator
Factory default: ^^ (i.e. RS)
This specifies the ASCII character sent to the host to indicate the end of a data block transmission.
