Setup Mode Operation
Setup Mode is a feature of the HDS200 terminal for setting and changing the configu-
ration of the terminal. Setup Mode uses keys with red keyfront legends. Setup Lines
are displayed at the bottom of the screen in reverse video. Enter Setup Mode by
pressing SETUP. Select a Setup Line by pressing NEXT LINE and select a field within
the line (shown in normal video) by pressing the left arrow or the right arrow keys.
Pressing the NEXT VALUE key selects each of the available values for the field in turn.
You can exit Setup Mode and keep the configuration selected by pressing SETUP at
any time. This Setup configuration remains until you turn the power OFF or reset the
terminal. You can save the configuration in NVM (Non Volatile Memory) for perma-
nent storage by pressing SAVE twice. The NVM configuration is used after Reset or
power ON. --
Returning To Factory Settings
The terminal can be reset and the factory configuration selected easily by pressing
the META SHIFT RESET keys or by pressing the FACTRY RESET key twice when in
Setup Mode. The factory settings of the terminal emulate the DEC VT102 terminal
configuration.
Setup Lines
Each Setup Line is shown below. Factory settings for each field appear as the field
label. Factory settings for fields without label changes, such as Video, are given in
the field description.
General Setup Line # 1
60 Pgs Used:1 pg ASCII Video Cursor Click:Norm Bell:Norml Scroll:Jump
a) 80or132 column display width.
b) Pages of display memory used (window size).
c) Character set in use.
d) Video display, normal or reverse video. Factory Setting = normal.
e) Cursor type: block/underline, fast/slow, blink/solid, or none. Factory Setting =
fast blinking block.
f) Keyclick volume, values Off, Soft, Normal, Loud.
g) Bell volume, values Off, Soft, Normal, Loud, or Video.
h) Scrolling method, either jump, smooth, or slow smooth scroll.
General Setup Line # 2

a) Cursor and character wraparound Off or On.
b) Cursor Pad in Send or Local Mode.
c) New Line Mode Off or On.
d) Operating mode of the terminal, either ANSI 7-bit, ANSI 8-bit, or VT52.
e) Graphics printer configuration, either DEC LASO, Epson, C. ltoh, Anadex, Okidata,
or Thinkjet.

h) CTS/RTS protocol, Need or NIA.
User Defined Keys Setup Line
USER DEFINED KEYS: Press NEXT VALUE; key to change; type data; then NEXT VALUE
You can enter a key definition by pressing the NEXT VALUE key, then the key you
want to redefine. Type in the new definition, either text or commands, and it will
appear on the screen. You may enter up to 60 characters; more than 60 will be
truncated. All characters, even non-printing control characters, are displayed. Edit
the definition with the right arrow, left arrow, and~ (DEL CHAR) keys. Save the new
definition in NVM by pressing NEXT VALUE or restore the old definition by pressing
NEXT LINE or SETUP. Refer to the User Defined Key Keychart for key numbers,
factory definitions, and execute/transmit settings.

Factory Settings are Tab stops at every eighth space. You can change the Tab
settings, either On or Off, by using the right arrow and left arrow keys to move to the
column you want, then press NEXT VALUE to toggle the Tab setting for that column.

ANSI Terminal Commands
The terminal commands listed below are either control codes or command se-
quences. Control codes are generated from the keyboard by holding down the control
key CTRL while pressing another key. Command sequences are generated from the
keyboard by pressing the key labelled GMO (SHIFT ESG) and then typing the remain-
der of the sequence, substituting the numeric values corresponding to your parame-
ter choices in the position of the parameters in the command sequence.
Command sequences must observe the following rules:
• Commands entered from the keyboard must use GMO (SHIFT ESG) for the
ESC character". Commands executed from communicatiorlTITTes (for example, com-
mands originating from a program running on the host computer) use ESC.
• Commands must be entered with no embedded spaces. Spaces are included
in this listing for clarity only.
• Command parameters must be separated with semicolons, or colons where
indicated, within the command sequence.
• The values entered for the parameters must be accepted values (refer to the
notes and the parameter descriptions). Incorrect values cause the command to be
ignored.
• Characters must be entered exactly as they are shown, noting the use of
upper or lower case letters and other symbols.
• If a command can be executed with a single dedicated key, such as RETURN
for CTRL M, that key is shown on the command line in underlined italics. ---
Using Default Values
The term "Default value" has several meanings which are often confused. In general,
a default value is the value used when no other value is specified. The default value
for a parameter is the value (usually 0or1) which will be used ii the parameter is not
specified in the command sequence. The factory setting for a function may be
different from the default value of the command parameter. For example, the com-
mand to set the Bell Volume uses the bell parameter with a default of O (bell = O is
Bell OFF), but the factory setting (sometimes called the factory default) for the Bell
Volume command has bell = 3. All factory settings of the terminal are detailed in a
separate list in this Guide.
When you enter a command line and omit a parameter, the default value for that
parameter is used when the command is executed. This is a convenient way to save
steps if the default value is the choice you want. For commands with multiple
parameters it may be necessary to mark the parameter field by entering the semi-
colons surrounding defaulted fields. For example, the Define Window command
would be written: ESC [ ;;;40 w to use defaults for all the parameters except the last
one.
Using Terminal Processing Modes
Terminal Processing Modes are special kinds of command sequences. They allow a
choice of two types of processing for a given situation, one type called the Set State
and the other called the Reset State. The Set, or Reset, State of a processing mode is
chosen by a Set, or Reset, command sequence with the mode number as the
parameter. The processing mode commands use private parameters and mode num-
bers from three groups: ANSI, DEC, and HOS. The HOS group includes numbers for
both the other groups for ease of use.
The Processing Mode commands are:
Set State
Reset State
ANSI group
ESC [ ansih
ESC [ ansil
DEC group
ESC [? dech
ESC [?deeI
HOS group
ESC [ = hds h
ESC [ = hds I
Note that the terminating letters are lowercase hand I. The parameters ansi, dee, and
hds refer to the mode numbers as shown in the list. HOS modes include all ANSI and
DEC modes. For example, ESC [ = 203 h is the same as ESC [ ?3h. Up to 15 mode
3

HDS200 Pocket Reference Guide
numbers separated by semicolons (either for ANSI, DEC, or HDS modes, for either
Set or Reset commands, but not mixed) can be used in a single command sequence.
Using Commands And Character Sets
Command sequences are recognized by the terminal as strings of ASCII codes. The
codes or chart locations are represented in these manuals as characters from the
ASCII character set. If you are using another character set, such as the APL, some
characters that appear in these commands may not appear on your keyboard, or
some characters used in both ASCII and APL character sets may be assigned differ-
ent chart locations in those character sets. When you enter commands you must
always use the ASCII codes and the chart locations of the ASCII characters as
reference points for the command characters. The HDS200 Programmer's Reference
Manual has complete command descriptions including ASCII chart locations for each
command.

Bold face indicates the factory setting for the processing mode.
Terminal Processing Modes are special kinds of command sequences. They allow a
choice of two types of processing for a given situation, one type called the Set State
and the other called the Reset State. The Set, or Reset, State of all processing modes
is chosen by a Set, or Reset, command sequence with the mode number used as a
parameter in the command. The processing mode commands use private parameters
