This terminal quickly and easily connects to optional color or black and white monitors, and the optional DIGITAL LA34VA graphics printer. In addition, the terminal connects to either a 20 rnA current loop or EIA communications line to communicate with the host computer. The GIGI terminal can operate as three different terminals: a text terminal, a graphics terminal, and a BASIC terminal. This chapter introduces you to the GIGI terminal and the basic ideas behind these three operating modes. GIGI AS A TEXT TERMINAL The GIGI terminal's basic mode of operation is as a text terminal. In this mode the terminal acts as a translator between you (the operator) and the host computer. When you type a message or command on the keyboard, the terminal sends it immediately to the host computer in a language the computer understands. The host computer receives the message or command and executes it. Then the host computer sends an acknowledgement to the terminal, indicating the message or command was received and executed. The terminal receives the acknowledgement and displays it on the monitor screen in a language that you can understand . Figure 1-2 shows a simple diagram of the GIGI terminal operating in text mode. When you first turn on or reset the GIGI terminal, it always enters text mode.

The name GIGI derives from this capability as a General Imaging Generator and Interpreter. Generally the terminal is placed in graphics mode by the host computer. In this mode the terminal interprets all data received from the host computer or the terminal keyboard as graphics commands and data. The interpreter and image generator translates the commands and data into the images displayed on the monitor screen. Figure 1-3 shows a simple diagram of the GIGI terminal operating in graphics mode. The commands to the interpreter come from a new graphics command set called ReGIS (Remote Graphics Instruction Set). The ReGIS command set consists of a few simple instructions and options which allow you to quickly and easily draw an image on the monitor screen. Within the graphics mode of operation is a mode called the locator mode. This mode helps you locate a point on the screen and report that point to the host computer. The GIGI terminal enters locator mode through the keyboard or a command from the host computer. When the terminal enters locator mode, a large cross-hair cursor appears on the screen. The point where the two lines cross is the point reported to the host computer. You can return the terminal to the text mode of operation at any time. When the terminal is in text mode, it interprets all graphics data and commands as text only and not as graphics .

The GIGI BASIC interpreter allows the terminal to run BASIC language programs. The terminal enters BASIC mode through the SET-UP mode (described in Chapter 4) or a command from the host computer. The BASIC program comes from one of two places, the keyboard or the host computer. You select the source of the program with a SET-UP parameter. If the keyboard is the program source, the operator types the BASIC program directly into the terminal memory. When the program runs, the output normally goes to the monitor screen. If the host computer is the program source, the program loads into the terminal memory from the host computer. When the program runs, the output normally returns to the host computer. Figure 14 shows a simple diagram of the GIGI terminal operating in both cases.

You can return the terminal to text mode at any time, either through the keyboard or the SET-UP mode. When the terminal is in text mode, it interprets all data as text only and not as BASIC language commands. 4 Installation 2 INSTALLATION SITE CONSIDERATIONS The GIGI terminal is a lightweight, single-piece unit that fits on a desk or tabletop. Figure 2-1 shows the dimensions of the terminal. The GIGI terminal usually connects to a user-supplied monitor (display) device. The monitor always operates with the terminal and should be located close to the terminal. Therefore, you must consider the monitor's size and weight when planning the terminal's location. The GIGI terminal places few limits on the operating environment. Avoid areas that experience extremes in temperature and humidity or are subject to high levels of industrial contaminates. Appendix A describes the guaranteed operating conditions and terminal specifications. A small air circulation fan in the GIGI terminal cools the terminal's electronic components. For the fan to work properly, all ventilation slots must be unobstructed. For this reason you should keep an area of about six inches around the terminal clear. Do not place papers or similar materials on top of or under the terminal. The terminal controls and cable connections are on the rear of the terminal. When installing the terminal, allow an adequate area to access the rear of the terminal. Note: When installing the terminal, keep all power and signal cables free from obstructions, sharp bends, and stress.

Connect the power cord to the power cord receptacle on the rear of the terminal. Plug the other end of the power cord into a nearby wall outlet. 10. Turn the monitor power switch on. Allow the monitor one or two minutes to warm up before you perform the next step. 11. Turn the terminal power switch on. The terminal will automatically perform the power-up self-test. Once the power-up self test is successfully completed, the ON LINE indicator above the keyboard lights and the cursor appears in the upper left corner of the monitor screen. If any other indications are present, the terminal self-test may have found a fault in the terminal. Chapter 5 outlines the procedures to follow if this occurs. Note: On some monitors you may not see the cursor immediately because of a monitor condition called overscan. To eliminate the monitor overscan, set the HP, HM or VM SET-UP parameters . Chapter 4 describes these parameters. 12. Select the terminal SET-UP parameters. Chapter 4 describes the SETUP parameters and how to select them. 13. Once you select the SET-UP parameters, record their settings and keep them with the terminal for future reference. 14. Fill out the GIGI Installation Card and return it to DIGITAL. Postage on the card is prepaid if mailed within the US. CONNECTING TO THE BARCO MODEL GD33 MONITOR This section provides specific instructions for connecting the GIGI terminal to the Barco Model GD33 monitor. This monitor is not supplied by DIGITAL. The monitor must be purchased separately from your local Barco distributor. Monitor operating instructions are packaged with the monitor. 1. 2. 12 Locate the GIGI video cable. It is a single cable with three connectors on each end. Connect the color-keyed red, green, and blue cable connectors to the RED, GREEN, and BLUE output connectors on the rear of the GIGI terminal. INST ALLATION 3. 4. 5. 6. Connect the color-keyed red, green, and blue cable connectors to the RED, GREEN, and BLUE input connectors on the rear of the Barco Model G033 monitor (Figure 2-7).

DIGITAL does not supply a black and white monitor. Any black and white monitor must be obtained from local suppliers. Use the following general instructions to perform the interconnection. Specific operating instructions for the monitor are packaged with the monitor. 1. 2. 3. 4. Locate the GIGI video cable. It is a single cable with three connectors on each end. Connect one of the three cable connectors to the MONO output connector on the rear of the GIGI terminal. Note the cable connector color key (red, green, or blue) . Locate the video input connector on the black and white monitor. This connector should be a BNC-type connector. If not, put a BNC adaptor on the connector. Connect the video cable to the video input connector on the monitor. Be sure to use the same color-keyed cable connector that you used on the terminal end of the cable. CONNECTING TO THE LA34 VA GRAPHICS PRINTER You can connect the GIGI terminal to the LA34VA graphics printer in one of two ways. 1. 2. Connect the terminal directly to the printer. Add the terminal to the end of a multiterminal string. When you connect the terminal directly to the printer, the printer is dedicated to that terminal. This means the printer is always available to the terminal. In a multiterminal string, two or more GIGI terminals connect to one printer. Each terminal contains a hardcopy protocol. This protocol prevents problems when more than one terminal tries to use the printer. When you request to use the printer by pressing the SHIFT and PFI / HARDCOPY keys together the terminal looks to see if the printer is busy. If the printer is not busy the terminal immediately sends its data to the printer. If the printer is currently printing the terminal generates a print request and waits until the printer is available. The print request tells all other GIGI terminals that a terminal is waiting to use the printer. When the printer completes the copy the waiting terminal then sends its data to the printer. When more than one terminal is waiting to use the printer an internal sequence system takes effect. The sequence system determines which terminal uses the printer next. The sequence system continues in effect until all of the waiting terminals have used the printer. When you use a multi terminal string, all terminals in the string must be powered on. If any terminal in the string is turned off, that terminal and all terminals after it in the string cannot use the printer. Figure 2-8 shows this point. Terminal 3 is turned off, so terminal 4 cannot use the printer. Any terminal that is turned off in a multiterminal string should be disconnected from the string. A later section of this chapter provides a disconnection procedure. 14 INSTALLATION LA34VA GRAPHICS PRINTER GIGI TERMINAL #4· CANNOT USE LA34VA GIGI TERMINAL #1 FIGURE 2-8 Multiterminal String with Terminal Turned Off GIGI TERMINAL #2 GIGI TERMINAL #3-POWER OFF MA-6725 The following paragraphs provide the two procedures for connecting the GIGI terminal to the LA34VA graphics printer.

The operator uses these controls and indicators to monitor and direct the terminal's operation. The controls and indicators are grouped as follows. • • • • Terminal controls Keyboard controls Visual indicators Audible indicators TERMINAL CONTROLS The GIGI terminal contains only one control, the power switch (Figure 3-1). The power switch turns power to the terminal on and off. AC FUSE FIGURE 3-\ AC POWER SWITCH Terminal Controls MONOCHROME (BLACK & WHITE) VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTOR RED, GREEN AND BLUE VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTORS HARDCOPY CONNECTOR EIA CONNECTOR 20 rnA CONNECTOR AC POWER RECEPTACLE MA· 67 17 KEYBOARD CONTROLS The GIGI terminal has two keypads. The main keypad has a key arrangement and sculpturing styled like a standard office typewriter. The auxiliary or numeric keypad allows you to enter numeric data in a calculator-like fashion. The GIGI terminal keyboard controls are grouped by functionality as follows . Standard keys Special function keys SET-UP mode keys Special mode keys 19 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION M A6 1U FIGURE 3-2 Standard Keys Standard Keys Figure 3-2 identifies the GIGI terminal keyboard keys that usually operate like standard typewriter and calculator keys. These keys generate ASCII codes which the terminal transmits to the host computer. The minus, comma, period, and numeric keys of the auxiliary keypad normally generate the same codes as the corresponding unshifted keys of the main keypad. The SHIFT key on the main keypad does not affect the codes generated by the keys on the auxiliary keypad. The auxiliary keypad has two alternate modes of operation: keypad application mode and programmed keypad mode. The terminal can enter either mode through the SET-UP parameters or a command from the host computer. In both modes the auxiliary keypad generates special but different sequences that have a special meaning to the host computer. Chapter 4 provides more information about the two modes, and Chapter 7 provides information concerning the specific codes generated by the keys. CAPS LOCK This key enables the uppercase function of alphabetic keys only. All numeric and special symbol keys remain in lowercase. . SHIFT SHIFT This key enables the uppercase function of all keys. If a key does not have an uppercase function, the SHIFT key has no effect. Special Function Keys Figure 3-3 identifies the special function keys on the GIGI terminal keyboard. The special function keys transmit codes to the host computer which may have a special meaning to the application program. Consult your local operating procedures for the specific function performed by these keys. The following paragraphs provide a general description. 20 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION MA6127 FIGURE 3-3 Keys Special Function SET-UP Pressing this key causes the GIGI terminal to enter SET-UP mode. In SETUP mode you can change the terminal parameters such as scrolling . • • • ARROWS Each of these keys causes the GIGI terminal to transmit a code to the host computer. Usually the terminal interprets these keys as commands to move the cursor in the direction of the arrow. Consult your local operating procedures for the exact function of these keys in your system. BREAK This key transmits a break signal. Pressing BREAK with either of the SHIFT keys transmits the long break signal. PF 1 / HARDCOPY Pressing this key by itself causes the GIG! terminal to transmit a code which may have a special meaning to your system. Consult your local operating procedures for the meaning of this key. Pressing this key with either of the SHIFT keys causes the optional printer to copy the current contents of the monitor screen. During the copying process the screen is frozen. Once the printer finishes the copy, the screen resumes normal operation. If a printer is not connected to the terminal, pressing this key freezes the screen for a short time just as if a printer was copying the screen. Pressing the SHIFT and PF 1 I HARDCOPY keys a second time stops the printing of the screen contents. When this occurs the terminal returns to the previous operating mode. 21 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION PF2/LOCATOR Pressing this key by itself causes the GIGI terminal to transmit a code which may have a special meaning to your system. Consult your local operating procedures for the meaning of this key. Pressing this key with either of the SHIFT keys causes the terminal to enter locator mode and display the locator cursor (+ ) on the screen. More information on the locator mode is provided later in this section. PF3/TEXT Pressing this key by itself causes the GIGI terminal to transmit a code which may have a special meaning to your system. Consult your local operating procedures for the meaning of this key. Pressing this key with either of the SHIFT keys causes the terminal to enter text mode and disable graphics mode. When it enters text mode, the terminal cancels any special graphics display parameters that were selected. If the terminal was already in text mode, pressing this key resets any special text features. PF4/RESET Pressing this key by itself causes the GIGI terminal to transmit a code which may have a special meaning to your system. Consult your local operating procedures for the meaning of this key. Pressing this key with either of the SHIFT keys resets the terminal. This action is almost the same as turning the power switch off and on. All of the contents of memory are lost except the SET-UP parameter settings, soft character sets, BASIC program, graphics mode macrographs, and any special key definitions. This reset function does not change the SET-UP parameter settings. DELETE This key causes the GIGI terminal to transmit a delete character code to the host system. The deleted character mayor may not be erased from the screen. RETURN This key transmits either a carriage return (CR) code or a carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) code. You select the desired function through a SETUP parameter. LINE FEED This key transmits a line feed (LF) code. NO SCROLL This key is controlled by the XO SET-UP parameter. If the XO parameter is on, pressing this the first time key stops data transmission from the host computer to the GIGI terminal. This also lights the NO SCROLL indicator 22 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION above the keyboard, to show that the terminal is not sending or receiving data. Pressing the key a second time resumes transmission from where it stopped. This also turns off the NO SCROLL indicator. If the XO parameter is off, this key is inactive and has no effect on the terminal. CONTROL Pressing this key in combination with another key causes the GIGI terminal to transmit a control code which may have a special meaning to your system. ESCAPE This key transmits an escape code which normally has a special meaning to your system. In many applications it tells your system to treat the next keys pressed as a command. SET-UP Mode Keys Figure 3-4 identifies the keys you can use in SET-UP mode. Chapter 4 provides a detailed description of the SET-UP mode. MA61]J FIGURE 3-4 SET-UP Mode Keys • SPACE BAR OR UP ARROW Either key steps to the next higher setting for a SET-UP parameter. When the highest value is reached, the setting returns to 0 and starts the cycle over again. Each key performs the same function . a DOWN ARROW This key steps to the next lower setting for a SET-UP parameter. When 0 is reached the setting returns to the highest value and starts the cycle over again . • RETURN OR RIGHT ARROW Either key steps the terminal to the next SET-UP parameter. When the last parameter appears on the screen, the terminal automatically returns to the first SET-UP parameter. Each key performs the same function . 23 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION • LEFT ARROW This key steps the terminal backwards to the previous SET-UP parameter. When the first parameter appears on the screen, the terminal automatically returns to the last SET-UP parameter. Alphabetic Keys These keys enter the two-letter code for each SET-UP parameter. This allows you to display any SET-UP parameter without stepping through all the parameters. If you type an incorrect code, the terminal sounds the bell tone and displays the last correct parameter. Numeric Keys These keys enter the numeric parameter setting of a SET-UP parameter. This allows you to set a parameter without stepping through all the parameter settings. If you type an incorrect setting, the terminal sounds the bell tone and displays the last correct parameter setting. • PF4 /RESET Pressing this key with either of the SH IFT keys resets the terminal to the power-up state. All the contents of memory, including the SET-UP parameter settings, are lost. Pressing these keys in SET-UP mode is the same as turning the terminal power switch off and on. When you press this key by itself, the terminal sounds the bell tone. Locator Mode Keys Figure 3-5 identifies the keys that have a special meaning to the terminal in locator mode. The following paragraphs briefly describe the function of the locator keys in locator mode. If you press any keys other than those described, the terminal exits locator mode, sends the code of the key pressed, and then sends the screen location of the locator cursor. If the terminal enters locator mode through the host computer, the terminal sends a carriage return (CR) code followed immediately by the key code. M AS1'}7 FIGURE 3-5 Locator Mode Keys 24 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION PF2 /LOCATOR Pressing this key with either of the SHIFT keys causes the terminal to enter locator mode and display the locator cursor (+ ) on the screen . • a 1111 ARROWS These keys move the locator cursor ( + ) around the screen. Each time you press the key, the locator cursor moves one dot in the direction shown by the arrow on the key. Pressing SHIFT with one of the arrow keys moves the locator cursor (+ ) ten dots in the direction shown by the arrow on the key. ENTER or RETURN Either of these keys end the locator mode of operation. The terminal sends the screen position of the locator cursor to the host computer. DELETE This key ends the locator mode of operation; however, the terminal does not send the screen position of the locator cursor to the host computer. If the terminal enters locator mode through the host computer, the terminal sends a carriage return (CR) code. VISUAL AND AUDIBLE INDICATORS The GIGI terminal has two types of indicator - visual indicators above the keyboard, and audible alarms. Visual Indicators Figure 3-6 shows the location of the keyboard indicators. The following paragraphs describe the function of each indicator. ON LINE LOCAL NO SCROLL BASIC HARDOOPV 000 0 1I l' 000 MA6721 FIGURE 3-6 Keyboard Indicators 25 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION ON LINE This indicator lights to show that the GIG I terminal is on-line and ready to transmit or receive messages from the host computer. The ON LINE indicator can also show self-test errors. LOCAL This indicator lights to show that the terminal is off-line and cannot communicate with the host computer. In local mode the keyboard remains active and all typed characters appear on the screen. The LOCAL indicator also shows self-test errors. NO SCROLL This indicator lights to show that the NO SCROLL key was pressed and the terminal is no longer receiving or sending data to the host computer. The codes for any keys pressed while the NO SCROLL indicator is on are stored in the terminal and sent after the indicator turns off. To continue sending or receiving data, you must press NO SCROLL a second time. The NO SCROLL indicator is inactive if the XO SET-UP parameter is off (XOO). BASIC This indicator lights to show that the terminal IS In the BASIC program mode. In this mode the terminal interprets all data entered on the keyboard or received from the host computer as BASIC language commands. The BASIC indicator also shows self-test errors. HARDCOPY This indicator lights to show that the optional hardcopy printer is copying the screen. When the operation is complete, the terminal turns the indicator off. The HARDCOPY indicator also shows self-test errors. L 1 and L2 These indicators are turned on and off by the host computer. Consult your local operating procedures for the exact meaning of each indicator. The L1 and L2 indicators also show self-test errors. 26 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION Audible Indicators The GIG I terminal has two audible alarms - a short tone (click) and a long tone (beep). Short Tone (click) The terminal sounds the short tone whenever you press a key, with the following exceptions. 1. SHIFT and CTRL keys do not generate a keyclick, because these keys do 2. not transmit codes but only modify the codes transmitted by other keys. No key generates a keyclick if the keyclick parameter is turned off in SET-UP mode Long Tone (beep) The terminal sounds the long tone when one of the following conditions occurs. 1. 2. 3. 4. 27 The terminal enters SET-UP mode. The terminal receives a bell code from the computer. The cursor is eight characters away from the right margin, and the margin bell parameter is enabled. The operator enters an incorrect parameter code or parameter setting in SET-UP mode. Terminal Set-Up ". V 4 TERMINAL SET-UP INTRODUCTION The GIG I terminal contains many features . Some of these features help the operator in the daily use of the terminal. Other features allow the terminal to talk to many different types of computers and computer programs. To change these features to the required settings, the terminal contains a special mode of operation called SET-UP mode. This chapter provides all the information you need to operate the GIG I terminal with your computer. The chapter includes the following sections. • • • • • • SET-UP mode description SET-UP parameter summary Determining what a SET-UP parameter does Changing a SET-UP parameter (operator) SET-UP parameter descriptions Changing a SET-UP parameter (host computer) SET-UP MODE DESCRIPTION When you enter SET-UP mode, the terminal displays the status of each parameter stored in the terminal memory individually on the monitor screen. Once the parameter code appears, you can change the parameter setting. After you change the parameter setting, the terminal operates according to the new setting. The effect is the same as turning a switch on or off. You enter SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. When you press SET-UP the following events occur. 1. 2. 3. 4. The monitor screen scrolls down six character lines. The long tone sounds. The monitor enters the expanded mode. A message similar to the following appears at the top center of the screen. SET-UP TS4 2400 The word SET-UP indicates the terminal is in SET-UP mode. The next two characters are the SET-UP parameter code. This code represents the SET-UP parameter you can now change. In this case the code is TS and stands for Transmit Speed. Immediately following the SET-UP parameter code is its current setting (4 in this case). This parameter setting code changes when the parameter setting changes. The last four characters in the message are an abbreviation of the current parameter setting. The abbreviation in this case is 2400, to show that the terminal transmit speed is set for 2400 baud (bits per second). The parameter setting abbreviation varies from setting to setting. 29 TERMINAL SET-UP The parameter settings entered in SET-UP mode are not permanent. Every time you turn terminal power off, the parameter settings return to a condition known as default. The default conditions reside in two different physicallocations in the terminal the default SET-UP switch pack and the read only memory (ROM) . The default SET-UP switch pack controls the following parameters. • • • • • Transmit (TS) and receive (RS) speed together Parity (PE) Default character (UK) sets Communications interface (CI) Power frequency (PF) You can change the default values for these SET-UP parameters while installing the terminal. Chapter 2 provides the procedures to follow. This chapter discusses the specific function and possible settings for each SET-UP parameter. All other default SET-UP parameter settings are controlled by the read only memory (ROM) in the GIG I terminal. These default parameter settings are permanent. Thus, if you want a parameter setting different from the default setting, you must change the setting each time terminal power is turned on. SET-UP Parameter Summary The GIGI terminal contains all the SET-UP parameters listed in Table 4-1. The first column in the table lists the SET-UP parameters in the order they appear on the monitor screen. The second column lists the parameter codes, and the third column lists the possible setting codes for each parameter. The next column lists the exact message that appears on the screen, and the last column briefly describes what the parameter does for that setting. This table serves only as a brief summary of the SET-UP parameters and how they affect the GIGI terminal. See the SET-UP Parameter Descriptions section of this chapter for a more complete description of each parameter and how it affects the terminal. 30 TERMINAL SET-UP Table 4-1 SET-UP Parameter Summary SET-UP Parameter Para Code Set Code Displayed Message Function Transmit Speed TS TS TS TS TS TS TS TS 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 TSO 110· t TS1300 TS2600 TS31200 TS42400 TS54800 TS69600 TS7 19.2 Set Set Set Set Set Set Set Set transmit transmit transmit transmit transmit transmit transmit transmit Receive Speed RS RS RS RS RS RS RS RS 0 RSO 110·t RS1300 RS2600 RS31200 RS42400 RS54800 RS69600 RS7 19.2 Set Set Set Set Set Set Set Set receive receive receive receive receive receive receive receive Locall Line LL LL 0 LLO Loci LL 1 OnLn· Local mode.

Each time you turn the terminal on, you must set the SET-UP parameters according to the requirements of the physical location and the host computer. Table 4-2 lists each parameter in the order it appears on the monitor and places it in one of the following general groups. • • • • Installation Computer compatibility Monitor compatibility Operator preference The installation parameters concern the initial installation of the terminal. If the physical location of the installation changes, verify the settings for these SET-UP parameters. The computer compatibility parameters must be set correctly so the GIGI terminal can communicate with the host computer. An error in these settings may cause the terminal to send or receive incorrect data from the computer; or an error may prevent the terminal from communicating with the computer. You must obtain the settings for these parameters from the host computer programmer, operator, or system manager, since there are many combinations of settings designed to work with particular computers and computer programs. These parameter settings normally change only when you need to communicate with a different computer or a unique software package. The monitor compatibility parameters allow the GIGI terminal to work with a wide range of monitors. These parameters allow you to tailor the video output of the terminal to the monitor and obtain the best possible screen display . The operator preference parameters allow the operator to tailor the GIGI terminal to fit individual preference. These parameters do not affect operations between the terminal and the computer. 34 TERMINAL SET-UP Table 4-2 SET-UP Parameter Categories SET-UP Parameter' Install Transmit Speed (TS) Receive Speed (RS) Line / Local (LL) BASIC Parity Enable (PE) XON / XOFF (XO) Scroll Mode (SM) Reverse Video (RV) Horizontal Margins (HM) Vertical Margins (VM) Expansion Mode (EM) Horizontal Position (HP) Overstrike (OS) Visual Cursor (V C) Text Display (TO) Graphics Display (GO) Graphics Prefix (GP) Single Character (SC) Local Echo (LE) New Line (NL) Auto Hardcopy (AH) Auto Wraparound (AW) Key Repeat (KR) Keyclick (KC) Margin Bell (MB) Terminal Mode (TM) Numeric Keypad Mode (KP) Cursor Key Mode (CK) Programmed Keypad Mode (PK) Tablet Locator Mode (TL) UK Character Set (UK) Comm.

Enter SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. Select the SET-UP parameter you want to change. Use one of the four following methods. a. Type the two-character SET-UP parameter code on the keyboard. b. Press RETURN until the SET-UP parameter code appears on the screen. Each time you press this key, you advance one code. c. Press the -; key until the SET-UP parameter code appears on the screen. Each time you press this key, you advance one code. d. Press the I-- key until the SET-UP parameter appears on the screen. Each time you press this key, you go back one code. Change the parameter setting. Use one of the four following methods. a. Type the single-digit parameter setting. This changes the parameter setting to the typed-in value without stepping through all the possible parameter settings. b. Press the SPACE BAR. Each time you press the SPACE BAR the parameter setting advances to the next possible value. c. Press the 1 key. Each time you press the T key, the parameter setting advances to the next possible value. d. Press the 1 key. Each time you press the 1 key, the parameter setting goes back to the previous setting. To change more than one SET-UP parameter, just repeat steps 2 and 3 as often as needed. Pressing either the RETURN or -; key advances the terminal to the next parameter and displays the new parameter and its current setting. Pressing the <- key steps the terminal back to the previous parameter and displays that parameter and its setting. The terminal always returns to the first parameter CTS) after stepping through all the parameters. If you press any keys other than SPACE , RETURN , I-, -; , f , 1 , a parameter code letter, or a parameter value, the terminal bell sounds and the last correct parameter or parameter setting appears on the screen. When all the SET-UP parameters are set, exit the SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP once. The screen then scrolls back to its original position and the normal viewing area appears again. SET-UP PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS This section describes each SET-UP parameter in detail and explains how each parameter affects the terminal. The SET-UP parameters are listed in the order they appear on the screen . Note: Unless otherwise stated, entering SET-UP mode and changing parameters does not result in the loss of data on the screen. Transmit Speed (TS) You must set transmit speed to match the computer receive speed. The GIGI terminal can transmit at anyone of the following preselected speeds: 110, 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600, and 19,200 baud. 36 TERMINAL SET-UP Transmit speed is independent of receive speed; the terminal can transmit data at one speed and receive data at a different speed. You select the default value of both this parameter and the receive speed (RS) parameter with the same default SET-UP switch pack settings. Note: Setting this parameter to 110 baud (TSO) selects two stop bits; all other settings select one stop bit. Receive Speed (RS) You must set receive speed to match the computer transmit speed. The GIGI terminal can receive at anyone of the following preselected speeds: 110, 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400,4,800,9,600 and 19,200 baud. Receive speed is independent of transmit speed; the terminal can receive data at one speed and transmit data at a different speed. You select the default value of both this parameter and the transmit speed (TS) parameter with the same default SET-UP switch pack settings. Line / Local (LL) The line/local parameter allows you to easily enter the terminal into either an on-line or a local (off-line) mode. When the terminal is on-line (the ON-LINE indicator lights), all characters typed on the keyboard are sent directly to the computer and messages from the computer appear on the screen. In local mode (the LOCAL indicator lights), the terminal is effectively disconnected from the computer; messages are not sent to or received from the computer. Characters typed on the keyboard are echoed directly to the screen. Note: When the terminal is on-line (LLl), the data terminal ready (DTR) signal on the EIA communications line is asserted. When the terminal enters local mode (LLO), DTR is deasserted and the LOCAL indicator lights. BASIC (BA) The BASIC mode parameter allows you to select the BASIC programming capability of the GIGI terminal. If the BASIC mode is off (BAO), the terminal operates normally. The line/local parameter (LL) determines if the terminal is on-line or local to the host computer. When you select BASIC local (BAl), the standard BASIC programming capability of the terminal turns on and the terminal keyboard acts as the input device to BASIC. In this mode you enter a BASIC program into the terminal by typing it on the keyboard. The BASIC indicator lights when you set the parameter to BA 1. When you select BASIC host (BA2), the BASIC programming capability of the terminal turns on and the host computer acts as the input device to BASIC. In this mode the host computer normally loads a BASIC program in the GIGI terminal through the communications line. The BASIC indicator lights when you set the parameter to BA2. Parity Enable (PE) The parity enable parameter defines the type of parity bit that the GIGI terminal generates for transmitted characters and checks for received charac- 37 TERMINAL SET-UP ters. All characters contain eight bits - seven data bits and one parity bit. You can select the parity bit from one of the three following options. 1. 2. 3. Space parity, which ignores the parity bit for all received characters (PEa) Even parity, with even parity checking for all received characters (PEl) Odd parity, with odd parity checking for all received characters (PE2) You select the default value of this parameter with the default SET-UP switch pack settings. Chapter 2 provides information on how to set these switches. XONI XOFF (XO) The GIGI terminal can automatically generate the synchronizing codes XON (DCI) and XOFF (DC3). The synchronizing codes prevent data loss when the host computer sends characters to the terminal faster than the terminal can process them. The XOFF control code stops data transmission from the host computer to the terminal; the XON code signals the host computer to resume transmission. When the parameter is on, and the receive buffer contains 100 unprocessed characters, the GIGI terminal automatically generates the XOFF code. The receive buffer fills to that point when one of the following events occur. 1. 2. 3. You press NO SCROLL. You enter the SET-UP mode. The terminal receives characters faster than it can process them. The buffer empties only after you press NO SCROLL again or take the terminal out of SET-UP mode. The terminal then takes characters out of the buffer and processes them one at a time. When 50 characters remain in the buffer, the terminal transmits the XON code to resume transmission from the computer to the terminal. If the XONjXOFF parameter is off, NO SCROLL is disabled. If the host computer software does not support the XON/XOFF codes, data sent during buffer-full conditions may be lost. Note: The GIG I terminal always stops transmission when it receives an XOFF (DC3) code and resumes transmission when it receives an XON (DCl) code, regardless of the auto XON/XOFF parameter setting. Scroll Mode (SM) Scrolling describes the movement of existing lines on the monitor screen to make room for new lines on the screen. The scroll mode function has four possible settings: scroll off, jump scroll, smooth scroll, or wrap scroll. In scroll off mode (SMa), the text cursor always remains on the top or bottom line of the display. The display does not move up or down. The terminal adds new lines to the screen by writing over the top or bottom line. In jump scroll mode (SMI), the text cursor immediately moves to the next line. In this mode the existing lines on the screen move up or down to make room for new lines. The new lines appear on the screen as fast as the computer sends them to the terminal. At the higher baud rates, the data is very difficult to read due to the rapid movement of the lines. 38 TERMINAL SET-UP Note: Jump scroll mode allows the terminal to add a maximum of thirty lines per second at the top or bottom of the screen. The XON/XOFF parameter must be enabled and supported by the host computer to ensure that data is not lost when jump scroll mode is enabled. In smooth scroll mode (SM2), the terminal receives new lines of data at a limited speed. The movement of lines occurs at the smooth, steady rate of eight lines per second, allowing you to read the data as it appears on the screen. Note: Smooth scroll mode allows the terminal to add a maximum of eight lines per second at the top or bottom of the screen. The XON /XOFF parameter must be enabled and supported by the host computer to ensure that data is not lost when smooth scroll mode is enabled. In wrap scroll mode (SM3), the terminal adds new lines to the screen by writing over the old lines. When you reach the end of the screen, (bottom or top) the cursor automatically moves to the beginning of the screen, and the terminal writes new lines over the old lines on the screen. Existing data on the screen does not move. Reverse Video (RV) The reverse video parameter allows you to select the background of the screen. In normal screen mode (RVO), the screen contains light (or colored) characters on a dark background. In reverse screen mode (R VI), the screen contains dark characters on a light (or colored) background . Horizontal Margins (HM) This parameter allows you to tailor the video output of the GIGI terminal to your monitor. If the monitor cannot display 84 characters per line, you can insert margins on both sides of the screen. The width of each margin is in characters. If the horizontal margin parameter is set for HMO, the monitor can display 84 characters on a line (42 characters if the expansion mode parameter is set for EM 1). If the parameter is set for a one-character margin (HM I), both the left and right margins are one character wide. This setting allows only 82 characters per line (40 characters in EM 1). The maximum margin width is nine characters for both the left and right margins. This setting provides space for 66 characters per line (24 characters in EM!). Vertical Margins (VM) This parameter allows you to tailor the video output of the GIGI terminal to your monitor. If the monitor cannot display 24 lines of data, you can insert vertical margins at the top and bottom of the screen. The height of each margin is in lines. If the vertical margin parameter is set for VMO, the terminal sends 24 lines of data to the monitor before scrolling the screen. If the parameter is set for VM 1, both the top and bottom margins are set for one line. This setting allows the terminal to send 22 lines of data to the monitor before scrolling the screen. 39 TERMINAL SET· UP The maximum margin height is nine lines for both the top and bottom margins. This setting allows the terminal to send six lines of data to the monitor before scrolling the screen. Expansion Mode (EM) This parameter allows you to expand characters on the screen to twice their normal width. In normal mode (EMO), characters are seven dots wide and are spaced two dots apart. In expanded mode (EM 1), characters are 14 dots wide and are spaced 4 dots apart. The EM 1 setting allows a maximum of 42 characters per line. Horizontal Position (HP) This parameter allows you to tailor the video output of the GIGI terminal to your monitor. The horizontal position parameter lets you center the entire display on the screen. The normal setting for this parameter is HP5. If the display is left of center, increase the value of the parameter setting. This moves the entire display to the right. If the display is right of center, decrease the parameter setting value. This moves the entire display to the left. Overstrike (OS) This parameter allows you to create special graphics on the screen by typing over characters. If the overstrike parameter is off (OSO), typing over a character replaces the old character with the new character. If the parameter is on (OSl), typing over a character places the new character over the old character without destroying the old character. For example, this parameter allows you to create the "not equal to" sign ("") by pressing the = key, BACKSPACE key, and / key. Visual Cursor (VC) This parameter allows you to change the visual cursor displayed. The cursor is the visual indicator that shows the "active position", where the next character will appear on the screen. The text cursor is a solid block character ( . ); it only appears when the terminal is in text mode. The graphics cursor is a diamond cross hair (~ ) at the current drawing position; it only appears when the terminal is in graphics mode. Only one cursor appears on the screen at any one time. The visual cursor parameter has four settings. In VCO, neither the text cursor nor the graphics cursor appears on the screen. In VC 1, the text cursor appears in text mode, and no cursor appears in graphics mode. In VC2, no cursor appears in text mode, but the graphics cursor appears in graphics mode. In VC3, both the text and graphics cursors appear in their respective modes. 40 TERMINAL SET-UP Text Display (TO) This parameter controls how characters sent to the display are processed by the terminal. In TOO, normal processing of both text and ReGIS graphics occurs. In TO 1, all characters appear as graphics text, including all control and escape sequences. No normal processing of these characters occurs, except for line feed (LF) which causes a next-line function. The XON/XOFF codes are still interpreted for synchronization, but also appear as graphics text. Control codes appear as the proposed ANSI standard two-character mnemonics. In T02, normal processing occurs; those control codes which are not normally processed appear as graphics text. Unrecognized escape and control sequences do not appear. Graphics Display (GO) This parameter controls how characters sent to the terminal's ReGIS interpreter are processed. In GOO, normal ReGIS processing occurs. In G01, ReGIS commands appear as text, and no graphics display occurs. When you enter ReGIS mode while in G01, the message "GON" appears on the screen, and "GOFF" appears when the ReGIS string is done. In G02 and G03, normal processing of ReGIS graphics commands occurs. The last line of the ReG IS commands appears as text on the top display line (G02) or bottom display line (G03). This line appears only when there are no more ReGIS commands to process, or when you freeze the display by pressing NO SCROLL. Graphics Prefix (GP) This parameter allows the terminal to enter graphics mode by receiving a single unique character from the host computer. When the graphics prefix character parameter is off (GPO), no graphics prefix character operations can occur. When the parameter is on (GP1), the line feed (LF) character followed by the graphics prefix character enters the terminal into graphics mode. The terminal interprets any characters received after the prefix character as graphics data. The next LF character received returns the terminal to normal text mode. If the graphics prefix character follows the second LF character, the terminal remains in graphics mode for the next line. The terminal does not perform a line feed function when it receives the second LF character. Use the following procedure to set the graphics prefix character. 1. 2. 3. Enter SET-UP mode and place the graphics prefix character parameter on the screen. If the parameter has not been set, the default character (!) appears as the prefix character. Press the = key. Press the key for the prefix character. The prefix character may be any one of 95 graphic text characters (space thru J-t). The graphics prefix character is now set in the terminal. 41 TERMINAL SET-UP Single Character (SC) When this parameter is on (SCI), the terminal sends a carriage return (CR) character after each code or set of codes generated by a single keystroke. The CR character is also sent after a terminal report. Local Echo (LE) When this parameter is on (LE I), every character sent to the host computer is automatically echoed on the screen. The host computer does not have to transmit the character back to the terminal. If double characters appear on the screen, turn the local echo parameter off, since the host computer is echoing characters back to the terminal. New Line (NL) This parameter enables the RETURN key on the terminal to function like the RETURN key on an electric typewriter. When the new line parameter is on (NLI), pressing RETURN generates the carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) codes. When the terminal receives a LF code, it interprets the code as a carriage return and line feed. When the parameter is off (NLO), pressing RETURN generates only the CR code; a LF code causes the terminal to perform a line feed only. If double line feeds occur consistently, turn this parameter off since the computer is performing this function. Auto Hardcopy (AH) This parameter allows you to make a continuous hardcopy record of all text that appears on the screen. When the auto hardcopy parameter is on (AHl), the printer copies the screen: 1. 2. Just before the screen is cleared Each time an entire display of new lines scrolls onto the screen. Auto Wraparound (A W) This parameter determines where the next character will appear on the screen once you reach the end of the current line. When the auto wraparound parameter is off (A WO), all characters received after you reach the end of the line appear in the last character position of that line. For example, take an 84character line. With the parameter off, the eighty-fifth text character received appears at the end of the current line and replaces the character already located there. This continues until the terminal receives a carriage return character. When the parameter is on (AWl), the eighty-fifth text character received appears in the first character position on the next line. 42 TERMINAL SET-UP Key Repeat (KR) This parameter allows a key to automatically repeat when you hold the key down for more than 0.5 seconds. The repeat rate speeds up to about 30 characters per second when you hold the key down for more than 1.5 seconds. The key repeat parameter affects all but the following keyboard keys. BREAK ESC NO SCROLL SET-UP RETURN CTRL and any other key PF 1 to PF4 and SH IFT Keyclick (KC ) The keyclick is a tone generated every time you press a key. The keyclick may be turned on or off to suit the operator's needs. However, research and experience have shown that an operator is more accurate when there is an audible feedback from the keyboard. The keyclick volume is not adjustable. Margin Bell (MB) This parameter acts like the bell in a typewriter. When the margin bell parameter is on (MBl), the GIGI terminal sounds a tone to alert the operator that the cursor is nine characters from the end of the current line. Terminal Mode (TM) The GIGI terminal follows two different programming standards - American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and VT52. In ANSI mode (TMl), the GIGI terminal generates and responds to coded sequences per ANSI standards X3.41-1974 and X3.64-1977. In VT52 mode (TMO), the GIG I terminal is compatible with previous DIGITAL software used on the VT52 video terminal. Chapter 7 summarizes both ANSI and VT52 modes. Keypad Mode (KP ) In normal (numeric) mode (KPO), the auxiliary keypad keys transmit the ASCII codes for the characters engraved on the keycaps, (0 to 9, etc.). The ENTER key acts like the RETURN key on the main keyboard. In application mode (KPl), these keys transmit unique escape sequences. Chapter 7 provides the exact escape sequences. Cursor Key Mode (CK) In normal (cursor) mode (CKO), the four cursor keys send the ANSI cursor movement escape sequences. In application mode (CK 1), the cursor keys transmit unique escape sequences. Chapter 7 provides the exact escape sequences. In VT52 mode (TMO), this parameter has no effect; the four cursor keys send the codes listed in Table 7-1. 43 TERMINAL SET-UP Programmed Keypad Mode (PK) You can program the GIGI terminal to send special sequences for any or all of the auxiliary keypad keys. When the programmable keypad parameter is on (PK1), keys that are programmed to send special code sequences send those sequences. Keys not programmed are not affected. If the parameter is off (PKO), all cursor and auxiliary keypad keys transmit their normal sequences as selected by the TM, KP, and CK parameters. Tablet Locator Mode (TL) This parameter defines how you move the locator mode cross-hair cursor. When the parameter is off (TLO), you move the cross-hair cursor by pressing one of the four arrow keys on the keyboard. The cross-hair cursor moves in the direction of the arrow on the key. When this parameter is on (TLl), an optional tablet pen or cursor positions the cross-hair cursor. United Kingdom Character Set (UK) The GIGI terminal contains two different character sets - the United States ASCII character set and the UK (United Kingdom) character set. The difference between the two sets is one character, the # or £ sign. When this parameter is on (UK 1), the UK pound sign £ appears instead of the # sign. Setting this parameter does not immediately change the character that appears on the screen. You must reset the terminal to obtain the desired character set. The default SET-UP switch pack settings determine the default value of this parameter. Chapter 2 provides information on how to set these switches. Communications Interface (CI) This parameter selects the communications interface (EIA or 20 mA current loop) used to connect the terminal to the host computer. A parameter setting of CIO selects EIA communications. CIl selects the 20 mA communications. You must set this parameter correctly for the GIGI terminal to communicate with the host computer. The default SET-UP switch pack settings determine the default value of this parameter. Chapter 2 provides information on how to set these switches. Hardcopy Speed (HS) You must set the hardcopy speed to match the hardcopy printer's transmit and receive speed . The GIGI terminal can transmit data to the hardcopy printer at anyone of the following preselected speeds: 110, 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600 and 19,200 baud. 44 TERMINAL SET-UP Power Frequency (PF) This parameter matches the terminal's video output signals to the monitor characteristics affected by the power line frequency. During the terminal installation, you must set this parameter for the power line frequency, 50 or 60 Hertz. In the US, the correct setting is 60 Hertz (PFO) . The default SET-UP switch pack settings determine the default value of this parameter. Chapter 2 provides information on how to .set these switches. Interlace (IL) Interlace describes a method of displaying characters on the screen. When the interlace parameter is on, every other scan line (row of horizontal dots) appears on the screen. After a complete scan of the screen, the terminal returns to start and scans the lines that were skipped . When the parameter is off, every scan line appears on the screen in order. Using the interlace parameter with a monitor that does not need an interlaced video input causes the screen to flicker. When you use the Barco Model GD33 monitor with the GIGI terminal, turn the interlace parameter off (lLO). Self-Test (ST) This parameter selects the internal test programs the terminal performs. The following programs are available. Clear all selected testes) (0) Power-up test (1) External communications test (2) Hardcopy communications test (3) Display pattern test (4) Color bar test pattern (5) Repeat the selected testes) until failure (9) The self-test parameter allows you to select more than one test program. To do this just type the number of each test program you want to run. The terminal performs the testes) when you exit SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. Changing a SET-UP Parameter (Host Computer) The host computer can change all GIGI terminal SET-UP parameters. The host computer has this capability because the SET-UP parameters directly affect how the terminal acts with specific programs. The host computer changes the SET-UP parameters by sending escape sequences to the terminal. The terminal then changes the SET-UP parameters and acts according to the new settings. j The Device Control Strings (DCS) section in Chapter 7 describes the specific escape sequences and message formats that change the terminal SET-UP parameters. 45 What to Do In the Event of a Problem · / \ . ~~' , •• 5 WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM INTRODUCTION The GIGI terminal can perform many functions. Some of these functions are controlled by the terminal hardware, while others are controlled by the software. Many times you cannot tell the difference between a hardware or software failure if a function does not perform as expected. To help you isolate the problem, every GIGI terminal contains a complete set of hardware selftest programs. The hardware self-tests check all the major terminal functions. If a problem is found, the self-test program indicates that a problem exists and what the problem is. The first part of this chapter outlines the steps you should follow to test the GIGI terminal. This section also gives you all the test results and their meanings. The second part of this chapter contains a simple troubleshooting chart. The troubleshooting chart lists some common problems that may occur along with the steps you can take to correct them. Many times you can avoid a costly service call simply by referring to this chart and performing the actions recommended. INTERNAL HARDWARE SELF-TESTS A self-test mode is built into the GIGI terminal. The self-test mode has two different series of tests, power-up tests and diagnostic tests. The power-up tests automatically check the condition of the terminal every time you turn on terminal power. The diagnostic tests check the terminal outputs, and require the loop back connectors. Power-Up Self-Test The power-up self-test checks the following terminal circuits. Microprocessor Visual and audible indicators Read only memory (ROM) Random access memory (RAM) CRT controller CRT timing Vector timing Video bit map Vector generator Keyboard Communications (internal) You can start the power-up self-test in four different ways. 1. 2. 3. 4. 47 Turn the terminal power switch on. Reset the terminal by pressing the SHIFT and auxiliary keypad PF 1 keys together in SET-UP mode. Select the SET-UP self-test feature (STl) . Receive a command from the host computer. WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM The power-up self-test takes about 15 seconds to run. While the test is running, various random patterns appear on the monitor screen. This is a normal indication. Once the test is complete, the cursor appears in the upper left corner of the screen and only the ON LINE indicator is turned on. If the selftest finds an error, the error appears on either the keyboard indicators or the screen. See the Error Codes section of this chapter for a list of the error codes and their meanings. Diagnostic Tests The GIG I terminal contains the following five diagnostic tests. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. External communications test Hardcopy communications test Display test Color bar test Screen alignment pattern The following paragraphs discuss these tests individually. External Communications Test This test is an extension of the internal communications test contained in the power-up test. In the external communications test, the transmit and receive lines connect through a loop back connector. Then a predefined set of characters is transmitted. The terminal receives the characters and compares them to the characters transmitted. If the characters do not match, an error is indicated. This test runs for all communications speeds. The external communcations test requires a loop back connector. Chapter 9 provides information on how to obtain loop back connectors needed for this test. Use the following procedure to start the external communications test. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Turn the terminal power off. Disconnect the communications cable from the rear of the terminal. Install the correct loopback connector on the terminal communications output connector. Loopback connector part number 12-15336-00 is for EIA communications; part number 70-15503-00 is for 20 rnA current loop communications. Turn the terminal power on. Enter SET-UP mode. Verify the communications interface SET-UP feature (CIO is EIA and Cll is 20 rnA.) Set the self-test SET-UP feature for selection 2 (ST2). Exit SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. This starts the test. Any error found by the test appears on the monitor screen. See the Error Codes section of this chapter for a list of the error codes and their meanings. Hardcopy Communications Test This test is similar to the external communications test. In the hardcopy communications test, the transmit and receive hardcopy output lines connect through a special loop back connector. Then a predefined set of characters is transmitted. The terminal receives the characters and compares them to the characters transmitted . If the characters do not match, an error is indicated. 48 _~ WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM This test requires a loopback connector. Chapter 9 provides information on how to obtain loop back connectors needed for this test. Use the following procedure to start the hardcopy communications test. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Turn the terminal power off. Disconnect the hardcopy printer cable from the rear of the terminal. Install the EIA loop back connector on the terminal hardcopy connector. The loopback connector is part number 12-15336-00. Turn the terminal power on. Enter SET-UP mode. Set the self-test SET-UP feature for selection 3 (ST3). Exit SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. This starts the test. Any error found by the test appears on the monitor screen. See the Error Codes section of this chapter for a list of the error codes and their meanings. Display Test This test displays a full screen of blue, red, green, white, black, and a crosshatch pattern. Each display screen lasts for approximately 0.5 seconds, and the crosshatch pattern remains on the screen at the end of the test. On a black and white monitor the test displays full screens of increasing intensity. Use the following procedure to start the display test. 1. 2. 3. Enter SET-UP mode. Set the self-test SET-UP feature for selection 4 (ST4) . Exit SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. This starts the test. An error in this test occurs if one of the display screens does not appear. If this happens the monitor attached to the GIG I terminal may have failed . Proceed with the color bar test. To clear the screen, reset the terminal. Color Bar Test This test displays a color bar/gray scale pattern on the monitor screen for approximately 0.5 seconds. The color bar/gray scale pattern consists of eight equally spaced vertical bars . On a color monitor the bars appear from left to right in the following order. black blue red magenta green cyan yellow white On a black and white (monochrome) monitor the bars appear as different shades of gray. The bars start with a black bar on the left side of the screen and increase in intensity to a white bar on the right side. Use the following procedure to start the color bar test. 1. 2. 3. Enter SET-UP mode. Set the self-test SET-UP feature for selection 5 (ST5). Exit SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. This starts the test. An error in this test occurs if the color bar/gray scale pattern does not appear on the screen or a portion of the pattern is missing. Either error condition may indicate that the attached monitor has failed, the video cable is not connected properly, or the GIGI terminal contains an error. If you suspect the terminal has failed, connect it to a different monitor and perform both the display and color bar/gray scale tests. If the same symptoms are present the second time, the terminal has probably failed. 49 WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM To clear th e screen, reset the terminal. Screen Alignment Pattern This test fills the monitor screen with a crosshatch pattern . The crosshatch pattern allows a service technician to adjust the monitor connected to the GIGI terminal. Use the following procedure to play the screen alignment pattern on the screen. 1. 2. 3. Enter SET-UP mode. Set the self-test SET-UP feature for selection 4 (ST4) . Exit SET-UP mode by pressing SET-UP. This starts the display test. At the end of the display test, the screen alignment pattern remains on the screen . To clear the screen, reset the terminal. Error Codes There are two major types of errors - fatal and nonfatal. Fatal errors cause the terminal to immediately stop all operations. No intelligible information appears on the monitor screen. The monitor most likely contains a random pattern. The only error indication (in addition to the random pattern) is an error code displayed on the keyboard LED indicators. The fatal error code displayed on the keyboard LEOs consists of two different messages - an error code and a data code. The error code lights the ON LINE indicator and displays a code in the BASIC, HARDCOPY, Ll, and L2 indicators. The data code lights the LOCAL indicator and displays a code in the BASIC, HARDCOPY, Ll, and L2 indicators. The GIGI terminal alternates between each message about every 0.25 seconds. Table 5-1 shows the possible fatal error codes. Nonfatal errors do not halt the terminal processor. Instead, the terminal displays an error code on the keyboard LEOs and in the center of the screen. If a nonfatal error occurs, you can still use the terminal. I n this case the terminal remains in the online or local mode with the appropriate indicator lit. The error is indicated by any of the BASIC, HARDCOPY, Ll , or L2 indicators blinking. An example of this is a keyboard error. If the self-test detects a keyboard error, the L2 indicator blinks and the message KB ERR appears on the screen. Table 5-2 lists all of the nonfatal error codes the terminal can display and what they mean to the terminal. 50 WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM Table 5-1 ON LINE Fatal Error Codes LED Error Code NO SCROLL BASIC HARDCOPY L1 L2 Error Code Meaning X 0 0 0 X 0 X 0 X 0 X Microprocessor error Data code X 0 0 0 0 0 ? 0 ?

If you suspect a problem in the terminal, you should initiate the power-up self-test procedure. This test helps you determine if the problem lies in your terminal or in some other part of the computer system. Table 5-3 describes many items you can check prior to making a service call. The first column lists problem symptoms; the second column lists a series of possible causes for each symptom, and some easy-to-do steps that may correct the problem.

This includes basic warranty information, how to obtain warranty repairs, how to obtain service under the Return to DIGITAL Servicenter Maintenance Agreement, and a complete list of DIGITAL Servicenters. PRODUCT WARRANTY The GIGI terminal is under warranty against any defects in workmanship or material for a period of ninety (90) days. The warranty period is for the 90 days following the arrival of the GIGI terminal at your site or for the 120 days following the terminal shipment from DIGITAL, whichever comes first. WARRANTY REPAIRS You must perform the following procedure to have the terminal repaired under warranty. 1. 2. Verify that the terminal has failed by performing the extensive self-tests outlined in Chapter 5. If you are still not sure that the terminal has failed after running the tests, swap the GIG I terminal with another one. If the symptoms remain, then the terminal is probably good and the failure is in some other part of the system. If you determine from step 1 that the GIGI terminal is defective, call your nearest authorized DIGITAL Servicenter to obtain a return authorization (RA) number. (A complete list of DIGITAL Servicenters appears at the end of this chapter.) When you call for the RA number, have the following information readily available . a. Terminal model number (VKlOO AA or VKI00 AB) and terminal serial number. This information is on the rear of the terminal. b. A description of the problem. Include all the error codes displayed when the internal tests were run. c. Any warranty verification requested. d. The number of units being returned. When the DIGITAL Servicenter gives you the RA number, they will tell you the best way to ship the terminal. 3. Note the RA number. If you have any questions concerning the terminal while it is being repaired, the RA number will help to speed the process. Pack the terminal in an authorized shipping container. Follow the repacking instructions in Chapter 2.

DIGITAL MAINTENANCE SERVICE REPAIRS The primary maintenance service offered by DIGITAL for the GIGI terminal is the Return to DIGITAL Servicenter Maintenance Agreement. If your GIGI is covered under an agreement, please use the following procedure. If not, contact your DIGITAL account salesperson or your local DIGITAL Field Service office. To have the terminal repaired under the Return to DIGITAL Servicenter Maintenance Agreement, you must perform this procedure. 1. 2. Verify that the terminal has failed by perfortning the extensive self-tests outlined in Chapter 5. If you are still not sure that the terminal has failed after running the tests, swap the GIGI terminal with another one. If the symptoms remain, then the terminal is probably good and the failure is in some other part of the system. If you determine from step 1 that the GIGI terminal is defective, call your nearest DIGITAL Servicenter to obtain a return authorization (RA) number. (A complete list of DIGITAL Servicenters appears at the end of this chapter.) When you call for the RA number, have the following information readily available. a. Terminal model number (VKlOO AA or VKlOO AB) and terminal serial number. This information is on the rear of the terminal. b. A description of the problem. Include all the error codes displayed when the internal tests were run. 56 HOW TO GET YOUR TERMINAL REPAIRED When the DIGITAL Servicenter gives you the RA number, they will tell you the best way to ship the terminal. 3.

PROGRAMMING SUMMARY CHARACTER SETS The GIGI terminal can contain up to five character sets. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. United Kingdom (UK) United States (USASCII) Soft character set 1 Soft character set 2 Soft character set 3 The soft character sets 1 through 3 are the same character sets referenced in the ReGIS mode of operation. You can select the contents of these character sets to meet your specific requirements. The character sets are loaded by using the ReGIS L command. (See the ReGIS command summary contained in this chapter.) Using multiple character sets in the GIGI terminal is a simple, two-step operation. You must define the active character sets and select one of those sets for use. From these five character sets you should select one or two active character sets. This is done with the select character set (SCS) control sequence. The SCS control sequence defines the active character sets as GO and G 1. Table 7-5 summarizes the SCS control sequences. It lists the exact sequence needed to define any character set as GO or G 1. Table 7-5 Select Character Set Sequences Character Set GO G1 UK US ASCII Soft Set 1 Soft Set 2 Soft Set 3 ESC(A ESC ( B ESC ( a ESC ( 1 ESC ( 2 ESC)A ESC) B ESC) a ESC) 1 ESC) 2 The shift in (SI) and shift out (SO) control characters select the actual character set used. When the terminal receives the shift in (SI, 0178) control character, the character set defined as GO by the SCS control sequence becomes the active character set. The shift out (SO, 0168) control character activates the character set defined as G 1 by the SCS control sequence. The following examples show how the multiple character sets are used. Example 1. You want to use the United States character set and soft character set 3 in the terminal. To select these two character sets as the active character sets, the host computer sends the following control sequences to the terminal. ESC (B To define the United States character set as GO ESC) 2 To define soft character set 3 as G 1 The shift in and shift out control characters then control the selection of the active character sets. Shift in (SI, 0178) selects the US character set and shift out (SO, 0168) selects soft character set 3. 62 PROGRAMMING SUMMARY Example 2. You want to use soft character set 1 and the United States character set in the terminal. To define these two character sets as the active character sets, the host computer sends the following control sequences to the terminal. ESC (0 To define soft character set 1 as GO ESC) B To define the United States character set as G 1 The shift in and shift out control characters then control the selection of the active character set. Shift in (SI, 0178) selects soft character set 1, and shift out (SO, 0168) selects the US character set. As the two examples show, you can define any character set as GO and any other character set as G 1. In those cases where you use only one character set, you can define it as both GO and G I. At either power-up or master reset, the terminal defines the default character set as both GO and G I. The default SET-UP switch pack selects the specific default character set. See Chapter 2 for information on changing the default character set. CONTROL FUNCTIONS The GIGI terminal is an upward and downward software compatible terminal. Previous DIGITAL terminals have DIGITAL private standards for control sequences. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has since standardized control sequences in terminals. The GIGI terminal is compatible with both the previous DIG IT AL standards and current ANSI standards. Note: The ANSI standards allow the manufacturer flexibility in implementing each function. This manual describes how the GIGI terminal responds to the implemented ANSI control functions. Customers may use existing DIGITAL software designed around the VT52, or new GIGI terminal software designed to meet ANSI standards. The GIG I terminal has a "VT52 compatible" mode in which the GIGI terminal responds to control sequences like a VT52. In this mode, you cannot use many GIG I terminal features. Throughout this chapter references are made to "VT52 mode" or "ANSI mode". These two terms indicate the GIGI terminal's software compatibility. All new software should be designed around the GIGI terminal's ANSI mode. The VT52 mode is included only to provide continuity for existing operating systems support. The following paragraphs briefly summarize the control sequences implemented by the GIGI terminal. See the reference documents listed in Chapter 9 for more information. The following ANSI standards were used in implementing the GIGI terminal. X3.16-1976 X3.4-1977 X3.41-1974 X3.64-1977 63 Character Structure and Character Parity Sense USA Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) Code Extension Techniques for Use with ASCII Addition Controls for Use with ASCII PROGRAMMING SUMMARY The GIG I terminal implements a subset of these standards. In the list of control functions in this chapter, the characters are shown using the ASCII character set. The case (upper or lower) of the characters sent is significant and must be sent exactly as documented. These characters are spaced apart for clarity only. The SPACE character (0408) never appears in any of the GIG I terminal's recognizable control or escape sequences. The ESCAPE character (0338) is defined as ESC. All graphics characters shown in color are integral to the control or escape sequence. Characters printed in black indicate variable parameters (Ps and Pn) or a possible sequence of parameters ( ... ). Where a variable parameter is indicated, the possible values appear immediately after the sequence. ANSI Mode Oe.finitions The following list defines the basic elements of the ANSI mode control sequences. Control Sequence Introducer (CSI) This escape sequence provides supplementary controls and is itself a prefix affecting the interpretation of a limited number of contiguous characters. In the GIGI terminal the CSI is ESC [. Parameter (1) A string of zero or more digits which represent a single value. Leading zeros are ignored. The decimal digits have a range of 0 (0608) to 9 (0718). (2) The value so represented. Numeric Parameter (Pn) A parameter that represents a decimal number, expressed as a string of ASCII digits. Selective Parameter (Ps) A string of characters that selects a subfunction from a specified list of subfunctions. In general, a control sequence with more than one selective parameter causes the same effect as several control sequences, each with one selective parameter. For example, CSI Psa; Psb; Psc F is identical to CSI Psa F CSI Psb F CSI Psc F. Parameter String A string of characters separated by a semicolon (0738). Default A function-dependent value that the system assumes when no explicit value, or a value of 0, is specified. Final Character A character whose bit combination terminates an escape or control sequence. 64 PROGRAMMING SUMMARY Example 1. Control sequence prints the display image.

The physical interfaces are implemented using a 25-pin EIA connector and a 20 rnA loop connector. Baud Rate You can program the transmit and receive baud rates through the keyboard by using the SET-UP commands. Specifically, you can set both receive and transmit baud rates independently to: 110, 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600, or 19,200 baud . The terminal (set up for jump scroll) supports text writing speeds up to 300 baud without using the XONjXOFF characters for synchronization. Character Format The format of the asynchronous character is bit serial, consisting of a start bit (always SPACE), seven data bits (MARK equals binary 1, SPACE equals binary 0) an optional parity bit, and one or two stop bits (always MARK). The data bits are ASCII coded, and the least significant bit is transmitted or received first. You can program the parity bit for odd or even parity. If parity is disabled, the eighth bit is set to SPACE and no parity checking occurs on input. If parity is enabled and parity errors are detected, the error character is displayed. All baud rates have one stop bit per transmitted character, except 110 baud which has two stop bits per character. The communication data format outlined here is programmed using SET-UP commands. EIA Interface The basic GIGI terminal operates on full-duplex, asynchronous communication lines. The terminal interfaces to the line with a 25-pin connector mounted on the back of the terminal. This connector meets the requirements of EIA Std RS-232-C. Table 8-1 summarizes the EIA connector signals. The following paragraphs explain how the basic GIGI terminal uses each signal. Protective Ground - Pin 1 This conductor connects to the terminal system ground via a jumper. The conductor cannot be used for reference potential purposes. Transmitted Data (from GIGI termin al) - Pin 2 The GIGI terminal transmits serially encoded characters and break signals on this circuit. The circuit is held in the mark state when the terminal is not transmitting characters or break signals . Rec eived Data (to GIG I te rminal) - Pin 3 The GIGI terminal receives serially encoded characters generated by the user's equipment on this circuit. The terminal is always ready to accept and interpret data after power-up, except in local mode. 77 HARDWARE INTERFACES Table 8-1 EIA Connector Signals Pin Description Protective ground Transmitted data Received data Request to send (not used) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Data set ready Signal ground' (not used) (not used) (not used) 11 12 13 14 15 (not (not (not (not (not 16 17 18 19 20 (not used) (not used) (not used) (not used) Data terminal ready 21 22 23 24 25 (not (not (not (not (not • EIA/CCITT Circuit AA/101 BA/103 BB/104 CA/105 CC/107 AB/102 used) used) used) used) used) CD/108.2 used) used) used) used) used) Common return Request To Send (from GIGI terminal) - Pin 4 This signal is always asserted (SPACE state) when the terminal is powered up and in the on-line mode. Clear To Send (from GIGI terminal) - Pin 5 A circuit exists for this signal, but the signal is ignored at all times. Data Set Ready (to GIGI term inal) - Pin 6 A receiver exists for this signal, but the signal is ignored at all times. Signal Ground - Pin 7 This conductor establishes the common ground reference potential for all voltages on the interface. It connects to the GIGI terminal system ground. Data Termina l Ready (from GIGI terminal) - Pin 20 The data terminal ready (DTR) signal is always asserted, except under the following conditions. 1. When the terminal is not powered up 2. When the terminal is in local mode 3. During the 3.5 second interval following the pressing of SHIFT and BREAK . 78 HARDWARE INTERFACES Note: This use of data terminal ready (DTR) signal disconnects local and remote data sets when you press SHIFT and BREAK. It also prevents automatic answering when the terminal is in local mode or powered off. This use of DTR also causes the line to disconnect when the GIG I terminal switches from on-line to local mode. Electrical Characteristics The electrical characteristics of the EIA interface are as follows. GIGI Terminal Output Voltages On all signals "from GIGI terminal", the mark or unasserted state is -6 V to -12 V; the space or asserted state is +6 V to + 12 V. GIGI Terminal Input Voltages On signals "to GIGI terminal", -25 V to +0.75 V or an open circuit is interpreted as a mark or unasserted state; and + 25 V to + 2.25 V is interpreted as a space or asserted state. Voltages greater than ± 25 V are not allowed. These levels are compatible with EIA Std RS-232-C and CCITT Recommendation V.28. 20 rnA Current Loop Interface The GIGI terminal current loop interface is a passive configuration, that is, current must be supplied to the GIGI terminal. The transmitter and receiver are both passive and optically isolated; the transmitter goes to the mark state when power is turned off. Electrical Characteristics The electrical characteristics of the 20 rnA current loop interface are as follows. Transmitter Open circuit voltage Voltage drop marking Spacing current Marking current Receiver Voltage drop marking Spacing current Marking current Min 5V OV Max 20mA 50 V 4V 2mA 50mA 15 rnA 2.3 V 3mA 50mA Buffer Overflow Prevention The GIGI terminal can operate at transmission speeds up to 19,200 baud. However, the terminal may not be able to keep up with incoming data. The terminal stores incoming characters in a 253-character buffer and processes them on a first-in, first-out basis. When the contents of the buffer reaches 100 characters, the terminal transmits XOFF (0238 or DC3). On this signal the host computer should suspend transmission to the terminal. If the host stops transmitting, the terminal eventually depletes the buffer. When 50 characters remain in the buffer, the terminal transmits XON (0218 or DC1) to signal the host that it may resume transmission. If the host fails to respond promptly to 79 HARDWARE INTERFACES an XOFF signal from the terminal the buffer continues to fill. When the buffer exceeds its 253-character capacity, a buffer overflow occurs. When the buffer overflows, the GIGI terminal ignores any incoming characters. The only indication of a buffer overflow is the loss of data on the monitor screen. The terminal does not display special characters on the screen to indicate a buffer overflow. Use the following formula to determine if the buffer will overflow. Response time = 153 X 10 / rec speed - 3 X (trans bits / trans speed) where: Rec speed GIG I terminal receive speed in bits/second (baud). Trans bits 10, except at 110 baud where it is 11. Trans speed GIGI terminal transmit speed in bits/second (baud). Note: The response time is less than 0 only when the receive speed is 19,200 baud and the transmit speed is 110 baud. You should never use this combination. Example 1. The GIGI terminal is transmitting at 1200 baud and receiving at 1200 baud. The terminal sends an XOFF signal which the host must respond to within 1.25 seconds to avoid the buffer overflow. Response time = 153 X (10/1200) - 3 X (10/1200) = 1.25 seconds Example 2. The GIGI terminal is transmitting at 300 baud and receiving at 1200 baud. The terminal sends an XOFF signal which the host must respond to within 1.175 seconds to avoid a buffer overflow. Response time = 153 X (10/1200) - 3 X (10/300) = 1.175 seconds The XON /XOFF synchronization scheme has an advantage over requiring the host to insert delays or filler characters in its data stream. Requiring a minimum of software support, XON/XOFF ensures that every character or command sent to the GIGI terminal is processed in correct order. This scheme frees interface programs from all timing considerations and produces more reliable operation. Software that does not support XON/XOFF signals from the GIGI terminal can still use the terminal in text or interactive mode. To do so you must limit the terminal receive speed to 300 baud in jump scroll mode, or 4800 baud in wrap scroll or scroll off modes. You can set the receive higher only if you know the average line length of the data. Table 8-2 shows the maximum speeds (baud rates) for each scroll mode selection at different line lengths. Table 8-2 Terminal Receive Speed Limits (No XON / XOFF Support) Scroll Mode 0 Average Line Length in Characters 10 20 40 30 50 60 Smooth 70 80 0 600 1200 1200 1200 1200 2400 2400 2400 1200 2400 2400 2400 2400 2400 2400 2400 300 Wrap/Off 4800 4800 4800 4800 4800 4800 4800 4800 4800 Jump Speeds are expressed as baud rates . 80 HARDWARE INTERFACES If you cannot use XONjXOFF, you can use fill characters after certain characters or character strings are sent to the GIG I terminal. Table 8-3 shows the number of fill characters required for these functions. You can use either the NUL (0008) or the DEL (1778) as fill characters. Table 8·3 Fill Character Requirements Character or Sequence Received TAB Text ED (char) CAN EL FF DECALN ED (full) Receive Speed 110 300 2 3 9 600 4 9 20 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 9 21 42 2 19 45 86 1 6 39 93 175 3 2 15 79 189 353 2 3 9 4 32 159 381 709 XONjXOFF support is required whenever you use the terminal in the following modes. Auto Hardcopy (AHl) Graphics mode BASIC mode (BAI or BA2) If the host computer does not support XONjXOFF buffer synchronization, data will probably be lost. Fill characters and pauses after transmission are not sufficient due to the varying sequence execution times. Two terminal functions, reset and self-test, reinitialize the terminal and erase the buffer. This means characters received after the commands to perform these two functions are lost without being processed. To compensate for this, the host computer may act in one of the two following ways. 1. 2. L_ 81 Immediately after sending the terminal the commands to perform either the reset or self-test function, the host may act as if it had received XOFF from the terminal. Thus the host will not send additional characters until it receives XON . The terminal transmits XON only after it completes the specified operation and the XONjXOFF feature is enabled. When the first method cannot be implemented, the host may use a delay of no less than 10 seconds to allow the terminal time to complete the invoked function. This method, however, does not guarantee against the loss of data when an invoked function detects an error; and while this delay is currently adequate, future options may require a change in the delay period. HARDWARE INTERFACES The GIGI terminal always recognizes received XOFF and XON signals. Receipt of XOFF inhibits the GIGI terminal from transmitting any codes except XOFF and XON. Up to 253 keystrokes are stored in a keyboard buffer (some keys transmit two or three codes, e.g., cursor controls). If the keyboard buffer overflows, keyclicks stop. Transmission resumes upon receipt of XON. Entering and exiting SET-UP clears all stored keyboard characters and the keyboard locked condition. DISPLA Y INTERFACE The display interface provides the circuitry needed to drive one black and white monitor and one red, green, and blue (RGB) color monitor at the same time. Four separate BNe connectors are located on the rear of the terminal; they are labeled as follows. MONO RED GREEN BLUE These connectors provide the signals needed to drive both black and white and color monitors. Composite Video Port (MONO) This interface connector drives an external black and white monitor. The output conforms to EIA RS-330 and has the following nominal characteristics. Output impedance Sync level Black level White level 75 ohms, dc coupled 0.0 V to 0.1 V 0.3 V ± 10% when terminated with 75 ohms 1.0 V ± 10% when terminated with 75 ohms Color Monitor Port (RED, GREEN, BLUE) These interface connectors drive an external RGB color monitor. The RED, GREEN, and BLUE outputs have the following nominal characteristics. Output impedance 75 ohms, dc coupled Red and blue signal outputs Signal level 1.0 V ± 10% Green signal outputs Signal level 1.0 V ± 10% Sync level 0.0 V to 0.1 V Black level 0.3 V ± 10% 82 HARDWARE INTERFACES Composite Sync Waveform Timing The composite sync waveform conforms to EIA RS-330 and has the following nominal characteristics.

These features are as follows. Feature PFO PFl HPO to HP9 HMO to HM9 VMO to VM9 EMl ILO ILl Function For 60 Hz, 525-line monitors For 50 Hz, 625-line monitors For horizontal centering To horizontally limit the text display area for monitors with overscan To vertically limit the text display area for monitors with overscan For 40 characters per line display text on low resolution monitors For a noninterlaced display to reduce flicker For an interlaced display on a monitor with a slow phospher, or for taking monitor screen photographs HARDCOPY INTERFACE The terminal has a serial interface port for interfacing to a LA34V A graphics printer; this allows dumping of bit map information to obtain a hardcopy. A series-chaining scheme allows more than one GIG I terminal to share a single graphics printer. Physical Interface The interface to an external hardcopy device uses a standard 25-pin female EIA connector. Table 8-4 lists the pin assignments. Table 8-4 Pin 1 2 3 4 5 7 13 14 16 19 84 Hardcopy Interface Pin Assignments Signal Name Protective Ground Downstream Transmitted Data (DTXD) Downstream Received Data (DRXD) Downstream Request To Send (DRTS) Downstream Clear to Send (DCTS) Signal Ground Upstream Clear To Send (UCTS) Upstream Transmitted Data (DTXD) Upstream Received Data (DRXD) Upstream Request To Send (URTS) HARDWARE INTERFACES Electrical Interface The electrical characteristics of the hardcopy interface are as follows. GIGI Terminal Output Voltages On signals generated by the GIGI terminal, the mark or unasserted state is -6 V to -12 V; the space or asserted state is +6 V to + 12 V. These levels are compatible with EIA Std RS-232-C and CCITT Recommendation V.28 . GIGI Terminal Input Voltages On signals received by the GIGI terminal, -25 V to +0.75 V or an open circuit is interpreted as a mark or unasserted state, and + 25 V to + 2.25 V is interpreted as a space or asserted state. Voltages greater than ± 25 V are not allowed. These levels are compatible with EIA Std RS-232-C and CCITT Recommendation V.28 . Hardcopy Device Sharing The GIGI terminal contains the necessary logic for series-chaining to another GIGI terminal to time share a single hardcopy device. For every serieschained GIGI terminal, a V-cable (BC26B-0l) and a modem cable (BC22Bx) are needed. Chapter 2 provides instructions on how to connect the terminal in a series chain. There is no limitation on the number of GIGI terminals chained to the hardcopy device as long as the maximum cable length between adjacent terminals is 50 ft. The 50 ft maximum cable length conforms to RS-232-CjCCITT V.28 interface specifications. In practice the number of GIGI terminals served by a single printer should be limited to 5 terminals because of response time. When a GIGI terminal is powered off, all upstream terminals (those farther away from the hardcopy device) are broken off the chain. The cabling system allows downstream terminals to bypass the V-cable on the powered-off terminal and remain in the chain. As a general practice you should disconnect all powered-off terminals from the chain. This eliminates the possibility of inducing noise pulses in the chain, which may cause an erroneous printout. 85 Accessories and Supplies 9 ACCESSORIES AND SUPPLIES FEATURES DIGITAL offers the following accessories and supplies to complement your GIGI terminal. • GIGI Carrying Cases (VKI0K-CA) These cases are specially designed to hold the GIGI terminal and all associated cables.
