Host Char Set

Async In

When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the serial (async) port is ready to

receive input at all times.

Start/End

These parameters specify the “start” and “end” characters of input received from

the serial (async) port.

6.20.1.7 Host Char Set

The ‘Host Char Set’ menu allows you to specify a character set in the ‘Lower’ and

‘Upper’ character tables.

Note: When an 8-bit set is selected from the ‘Lower’ character set, the ‘Upper’

character set will change to the same value. The ‘Upper’ character set can-

not be altered until a non-8-bit value is assigned for the ‘Lower’

character set.

To choose ‘Lower’ and ‘Upper character sets:

• Position the cursor on the ‘Lower’ or ‘Upper’ parameter, and press the

[RIGHT] or [LEFT] arrow key to display the character set options.

• Press [F4] to save your selection to memory.

Important: When a character sent from the host cannot be displayed, a

rectangular box is used as a substitute.
