ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for VT340 Operating Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Set the operating mode to determine how the terminal responds to control
sequences.
For additional information, select:
Operating Mode
VT100 Mode Terminal ID
Controls
Online / Local
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Operating Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Operating Mode may be set to VT300, 7-Bit Controls; VT300, 8-Bit Controls;
4010/4014 Mode; VT52 Mode; or VT100 Mode.
VT300, 7-Bit Controls is the default mode and executes standard ANSI functions.
This mode provides the full range of VT340 capabilities in an 8-bit
communications environment with 7-bit controls. This mode supports the DEC
multinational character set or the national replacement character (NRC) sets.
These sets may be accessed from the keyboard or from the host. This mode also
provides some compatibility for VT100 and VT125 software.
VT300, 8-Bit Controls also executes standard ANSI functions. This mode
provides the full range of VT340 capabilities in an 8-bit communications
environment with 8-bit controls. This mode also supports the DEC multinational
and NRC character sets, which can be accessed from the keyboard or with
programmed control codes.
VT100 Mode provides a high degree of compatibility with the DEC VT102 terminal.
All data is restricted to 7 bits, and only ASCII, NRC, or special graphics
characters are generated.
VT52 Mode provides compatibility with DEC's private functions and is similar to
the VT100 terminal operating in VT52 mode. Only VT52 keys may be used, and all
data is restricted to 7 bits and generates only ASCII, United Kingdom or
special graphics characters.
4010/4014 Mode is a graphics mode which executes Tektronix 4010/4014 functions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> VT100 Mode Terminal ID ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option may be set to VT340 ID, VT100 ID, VT101 ID, VT102 ID, VT220 ID,
VT131 ID or VT125 ID, and selects the device attributes response required by
some applications. The response lets the host know the operating
characteristics of the terminal.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Controls ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If set to Interpret Controls, the VT340 emulation processes control characters,
but does not display them.
If set to Display Controls, the emulation displays all control characters
without processing them.
If set to Display ReGIS, the emulation displays ReGIS commands on the bottom
line of the monitor as the graphic screens are drawn.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Online / Local ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If set to Online, the terminal can communicate with the host system. Data
entered at the keyboard is sent to the host, and data received from the host is
displayed.
If set to Local, the host system is placed on hold. Data entered at the
keyboard is sent to the monitor, but not to the host.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Help for VT340 Status Line Definition ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Determine the default setting for whether or not an information status line
will be displayed when in the Session Window (online terminal emulation).
If a status line is to be displayed, determine the default setting for the date
and time format to be used; and determine whether the DEC VT340 Status Line or
the standard Softerm Status Line will be displayed.
For additional information, select:
Status Line Preference
Display Host-Writable Status Line
Status Line Time Format

(online terminal emulation mode).
Off The status line will not be displayed when you are in the Session
Window (online terminal emulation mode).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Display Host-Writable Status Line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled (checked), applications can write messages on the
status line.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Help for Printer Definitions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Printer definitions provide the default settings for terminal functions
whose destination is a print device.
Print Extent determines what portion of the screen is printed when the Shift
PrtSc keyboard function is executed or a print screen command is received.
Print Terminator specifies if a form feed character is generated after the
screen is printed.
Printer Mode lets the terminal perform several print operations selected from
the keyboard or from the host.
New Line On Close Capture is used to enable or disable the automatic newline
sequence (carriage return + line feed) when sending data to a printer. Most
users will prefer to leave this option disabled.
Append Disk Printer File On Close is provided primarily to handle hosts which
initiate printing of small amounts of data on a frequent basis. Most users
will prefer to leave this option enabled.
Send Initialize / Deactivate String Once is used only by append printer
operations which have been redirected to a disk file, and prevents the printer
initialization and deactivation strings from being sent to the file each time
it is opened and closed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Print Extent ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Print Extent option determines what portion of the screen is printed when
the Shift PrtSc keyboard function is executed or a print screen command is
received. If this option is specified as Full Screen, the full screen will be
printed. If this option is specified as Scrolling Region, only the area
defined in the current scrolling region will be printed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Print Terminator ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Print Terminator option specifies if a form feed character is generated
after the screen is printed using the keyboard function or when a print screen
command is received. If this option is specified as Form Feed, a form feed
character (0C hex) is appended to the data sent to the printer by the print
screen function. If this option is specified as None, no form feed is
included.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Printer Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option may be set to Normal, Auto or Controller.
If set to Normal, you can select all local printing functions from the
keyboard.
Auto print mode prints the current display line when the cursor moves to the
next line.
In Controller mode, the host computer has direct control of the printer.
Characters received from the host go directly to the printer.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> New Line On Close Capture ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Function: Enable or disable the automatic newline sequence (carriage return +
line feed) when sending data to a printer. Most users will prefer to leave
this box unchecked.
This option works with all data Capture to Printer operations. Softerm normally
appends a newline sequence to the end of a data capture. However, when
transmitting data, some hosts will initiate a capture, send a line of data,
terminate capture, and repeat the process until all data has been transmitted.
Appending the newline sequence each time would destroy the data's format.
Leave this option unchecked to stop the automatic newline sequence from being
appended and to maintain the data's format.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Append Disk Printer File On Close ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Function: This option is provided primarily to handle hosts which initiate
printing of small amounts of data on a frequent basis. Most users will prefer
to leave this option checked.
Important: The action of this function depends on the selected Print Path and
whether or not a print device is busy.
Case 1: The Print Path uses a valid printer.
If the printer is available, all print activities (such as a capture to print
or a host-initiated print function) will be sent to the printer.
If Append Disk Printer File on Close is disabled and the printer is not
available (either off line, busy, etc.), all print activities (such as a
capture to print or a host-initiated print function) will be sent to a
temporary disk file. Each time the print activity is turned off, the temporary
file will be closed.
If Append Disk Printer File on Close is enabled and the printer is not
available (either off line, busy, etc.), all print activities (such as a
capture to print or a host-initiated print job) will be sent to a temporary
disk file. Each time the print activity is turned off, the temporary file
will, in effect, remain open. When printing is turned on again, the data will
be appended to the existing file.
The temporary file will be closed when one of the following happens:
1. You turn capture off from the File menu;
2. You clear the Append Disk Printer File on Close option;
3. You exit the Session Window; or
4. You exit Softerm.
Case 2: The Print Path uses a Disk printer with the "Automatically Create
Unique Disk Print File" option checked. Important: If a Disk printer is
given a user-specified file name, append is assumed and this setting does not
affect the file.
If Append Disk Printer File on Close is disabled, every time the print
activity is stopped, the disk file will be closed. Each new print activity
will overwrite the disk file.
If Append Disk Printer File on Close is enabled, every time the print activity
is stopped, the disk file will, in effect, remain open. Subsequent print
activity initiation will append the new data to the original file.
The disk file will be closed when one of the following happens:
1. You turn capture off from the File menu;
2. You clear the Append Disk Printer File on Close option and close the
capture;
3. You exit the Session Window; or
4. You exit Softerm.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Send Initialize / Deactivate String Once ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Important: This setting works only with append printer operations which are
redirected to a disk file. This includes a Print Path which uses a Disk
printer.
When this option is enabled, the printer initialization and deactivation
strings will be sent to the printer file only once.
If this option is not enabled, the printer initialization and deactivation
strings will be sent to the printer file each time it is opened and closed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help for Video Definitions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
These options let you set default values which affect the appearance and
behavior of the display.

displayed normally. If Reverse is selected, the foreground and background
colors are reversed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Auto Wrap ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This parameter also is called Automatic New Line.
When enabled, this option specifies that the cursor should automatically move
to the first character position in the next line when data is entered in the
last position on the current line. If the current line is the last line on the
screen and scrolling is enabled, the screen will scroll.
If this option is disabled, the cursor will stick at the last position of the
current line. Additional data entered or received will overwrite the display
position until a cursor movement command, such as a carriage return, is
processed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> CR after LF ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, Softerm automatically performs a carriage return
function (cursor to first display position) in addition to a linefeed function
(cursor down one line) whenever a linefeed character (0A hex) is received. If
this option is disabled, no additional processing is performed for linefeed
characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Page Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option sets the scrolling mode of the terminal. When Page Mode is
enabled, scrolling is disabled and functions which normally cause scrolling
will cause a wraparound to the top row.
When Page Mode is disabled, scrolling is enabled and the cursor will continue
to scroll down one line at a time, each time the cursor is sent past the column
limit on the last line of the displayed screen area.
Note: Page Mode is dependent on the Auto Wrap option being enabled.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> LF after CR ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, Softerm automatically performs a linefeed function
(cursor down one line) in addition to a carriage return function (cursor to
first display position) whenever a carriage return character (0D hex) is
received. If this option is disabled, no additional processing is performed
for carriage return characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Enable Margin Bell ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If checked, the audible alarm is sounded when a character is entered at column
74. If not checked, no alarm is issued.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Cursor Displayed ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, the text cursor will be displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> New Line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, the PC's Enter key will send a carriage return-line
feed sequence. If not checked, the Enter key sends only a carriage return.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Scroll ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is checked, the speed at which new lines appear on the screen is
limited, causing a smooth, steady scroll.
If not checked, scrolling is disabled.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Enable Warning Bell ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, the bell will sound when a BEL (CtrlG) character is
received from the host; after a compose character error; when errors occur
while you are using local editing, and when Session Support Utility errors
occur (the bell sounds twice).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Clear Display ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, the terminal screen will be cleared each time it is
accessed from the Terminal Emulation Settings dialogs.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Help for Keypad Modes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If set to ANSI, the emulation works according to American National Standards
Institute rules.
If set to VT131, the emulation works like a VT131 terminal. Use this setting
to run software designed for the VT131.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Line Transmit Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option lets you send characters a line at a time to the host.
If Disabled (not checked), when you press the Transmit keyboard equivalent, the
emulation sends a full or partial page. The size of the page depends on the
Transmit Termination Mode and the VT131 Transmit Mode.
If Enabled, the emulation sends only a line of eligible characters when the
Transmit keyboard equivalent is pressed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Transfer Termination Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When the Line Transmit Mode is disabled, this option determines whether the
emulation sends a partial page or the scrolling region.
If this option is Enabled (checked), when you press the Transmit keyboard
equivalent, the emulation sends the scrolling region, which is the area inside
the scrolling margins.
If this option is Disabled, when you press the Transmit keyboard equivalent,
the emulation sends a block based on the setting of the VT131 Transmit Mode.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Space Compression Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option determines how the emulation sends unused character fields and
spaces in a data block.
If this option is Disabled (not checked), the emulation sends a space character
for each unused character position.
If this option is Enabled, the emulation sends a record separator in place of
unused characters. The last field on a line contains an End of Line character.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. ASCII Character Codes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
These characters, codes and functions can be inserted in many of Softerm's
string entry fields. The first 32 codes (0 through 31 decimal), also called
the non-displayable characters, often are used as control codes. They can be
entered in a text field by typing the code's acronym (listed in the ASCII
column) between square brackets.
For example, a Carriage Return can be included in a string by typing the
acronym and placing it between square brackets, such as:
