The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of
ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value
entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program.
To use the Visible Match feature, the host computer preloads data into a match
entry field; the data is visible on the terminal screen. The preloaded data sent to a
terminal can consist of exact characters, special match characters or a combination
of the two. Refer to the table below for match characters recognized by
Teklogix terminals.
If an entry does not match the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the terminal
beeps, and the cursor moves to the first position in the match field. The operator can
either make another entry in the match field, or move the cursor to a new field.
When an entry (even one that doesn’t match the preloaded data) is made in a match
field, the entry is sent to the host as part of the terminal’s modified data during the
next transmission.
