When a particular language is selected, certain ASCII characters in the
graphic range are replaced by characters used in that country. These are
listed in Appendix B.
Keyboard Operation When a PC or workstation is running PC6530, these keys perform 6530
functions:
Alphanumeric keys generate displayable (graphic) characters.
Cursor/display control keys move the cursor on the screen and roll
display memory (conversational mode).
Function keys transmit messages to the host to invoke application-
defined functions.
Special-purpose keys perform a variety of terminal functions, such
as printing the contents of the screen.
The keyboard operations available depend on the mode of operation
selected. The type of workstation or PC keyboard layout can be selected
by a configuration parameter. Chapters 2 and 3 describe the codes and
sequences available for configuration in conversational and block modes.
Configuration
Parameters
Configuration parameters allow users to select 6530 options, such as
cursor type, bell column, and screen image intensity. Configuration
parameters are also used for communications line settings, such as baud
rate and parity. Initially, the 6530 assumes default values for these
parameters. The user can change these values by specifying new settings
in a 6530 initialization file.
For more information about the 6530 initialization file or about the 6530
configuration utility, refer to the user’s guide for the terminal or terminal
emulator.
Your application program can use escape sequences to read the
configuration parameters currently selected and reset them, if necessary.
