p1: Response Interval Start/Stop Events

1 = Any function key press / keyboard unlock command receipt

2 = Any function key press / any host data receipt

p2: Number of Buckets

1 to 10

A value of 1 is valid. It is not followed by a bucket partition

because it defines a bucket with boundaries from 0 to infinity,

which counts every response.

pn: Bucket Partition (centisec)

pn occurs number of buckets - 1 times. The ASCII numeric

string specifying each bucket partition may not exceed 5 digits

and may not exceed a value of 65535.

Here is an example escape sequence that sets the controls to the default

values detailed above (Esc = escape character):

Esc-1;5;200;400;1000;2000i

No response is expected from the terminal. If there is a violation of syntax

or range, the terminal ignores the escape sequence.

RTM Data Upload (Esc - j)

The Esc - j sequence causes an upload of RTM data to the host. The

request from the host is tagged with a 32 bit ID which the host breaks into

4 bytes, representing each byte with an ASCII numeric string in the range

of 0 to 255. The ASCII numeric representation of the 4 bytes is returned

to the host in the same byte order, along with the RTM bucket data.

If there is a violation of syntax or range in the host request, the terminal

ignores the escape sequence.

The format of the escape sequence is:

Esc - ID j

where:

ID = p1;p2;p3;p4

p1, p2, p3, and p4 are ASCII numeric string representations of an

unsigned 8 bit value in the range of 0 to 255.

The data uploaded to the host is in the format:

ID;

[;

]...];
