CONTROL CODES
TCA Response To Control Codes. The TCA can be controlled remotely
by
Heceived control codes. When the codes are received, they cause the TCA
to respond as follows:
DC1- Reader On (CTL and
Q
keys) - TCA goes into "Read" mode of operation
if
it is in the ''Stopped" condition.
DCJ- Reader Off (CTL and S keys) - TCA stops if it is in the "Read" mode
of operation.
DC2-
Recorder On (CTL and R
keys) -
TCA goes into "Write" mode of operation
if it is in the "Stopped" condition.
The Initial Recorder On code is not written.
Subsequent Recorder On codes are written.
DC4- Recorder Off (CTL and T keys) - TCA stops if
it
is in the "Write" mode
of operation. The Recorder Off code is
not written.
Rewind (ESC and 0 (zero) keys) - TCA rewinds to the beginning of a ''Block"
or to the beginning of the tape, whichever
comes first(if TCA was stopped when code
was received).
Reader Off Code On Tape. If the Reader Off (CTL and S
keys)
code has been
"Written" on the tape and the TCA is in the "Read''
mode
of operation, the TCA
will stop when it "Reads" the Reader Off code.This code is not transmitted.
~Yri
t.ing Control Codes. Control codes can
be
"Written" on the tape if the TCA
is in the "Write" mode of operation. Except for the Recorder Off code all the
control codes can be ''Written'' on the tape locally or when received.. The
Recorder Off code can
only
be written locally.
GENERAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
End Of
Tape. When the end of the tape
is
reached while
in
the
"1~ri
te"
mode
of
operation, the alarm will sound in the TermiNet
300
Printer and a break will be
generated.
"Write"
At 1200 Baud
Rate. When "1~riting" a "Block" at a
1200
baud rate, you
must
have a fill character (delete) at the beginning of the data being "Written".
This is to allow the
TCA
to come up to speed before data is "Written". The Fill
character will not be recorded.
