Saves the displayed parameters in non-volatile memory,
makes the displayed parameters the active set, and returns
to normal operating mode, with the Aids set of function keys
displayed.
The menu Type field has a list of three choices: L, T, and N.
These two keys can be used to cycle backward or forward
through the list, enabling selection of the choice for the dis-
play.
Displays the default type, label, and character string for all
keys.
Displays the parameters stored in non-volatile memory,
which become active at power on time.
Alternately enables and disables Display Functions mode.
When enabled, an asterisk is present in the label. In this
mode, the action normally produced by any keyboard control
or cursor control key, such as
1:1, _,
or any of the display
control or edit groups of keys, is not performed. Instead an
ASCII character representing the function is entered in the
character string definition then, when the function key is
pressed in Use mode, the action is performed.
Each user programmable key definition contains four unprotected fields:
TYPE FIELD.
This one character field may contain only an uppercase
L, T,
or
N,
signifying
Local, Transmit, and Normal.
a. A Local key is executed locally (at the terminal) only.
b. A Transmit key is transmitted to the host computer only.
c. A Normal key is executed in the same manner as data typed in from the keyboard. This
means that if the terminal is in Local mode, the contents of the key are executed locally
(displayable characters are sent to the display). If the terminal is in Remote mode and
local echo is disabled (configuration item
Loca 1 Echo),
the contents of the key are trans-
mitted to the host computer. If the terminal is in Remote mode and local echo is enabled
(on), the contents of the key are both transmitted to the host computer and executed
locally. If the terminal is in Block mode, the contents of the key are executed locally.
