C Programming Summary

General

This appendix provides a summary of VT102 escape and control sequences.

Figure C-1 shows the codes generated by the standard keys. Figure C-2 shows the control codes generated by the function keys; shaded keys do not need CTRL down to generate the control character.

The rest of this appendix repeats the information on the VT102 Programming Reference Card (EK-VT102-RC-001).

Control Characters Received

Name Character Mnemonic Octal Code Function
Null NUL 000 Ignored when received (not stored in input buffer) and used as a fill character.
End of text ETX 003 Can be selected as a half-duplex turnaround character.
End of transmission EOT 004 Can be selected as a disconnect character or half-duplex turnaround character. When used as a turnaround character, the disconnect character is DLE-EOT.
Enquire ENQ 005 Transmits answerback message.
Bell BEL 007 Generates bell tone.
Backspace BS 010 Moves cursor to the left one character position; if cursor is at left margin, no action occurs.
Horizontal tab HT 011 Moves cursor to next tab stop, or to right margin if there are no more tab stops.
Linefeed LF 012 Causes a linefeed or a new line operation. (See Linefeed/New Line mode). Also causes printing if auto print operation selected.
Vertical tab VT 013 Processed as LF.
Form feed FF 014 Processed as LF. FF can also be selected as a half-duplex turnaround character.
Carriage return CR 015 Moves cursor to left margin on current line. CR can also be selected as a half-duplex turnaround character.
Shift out SO 016 Selects G1 character set designated by a select character set sequence.
Shift in SI 017 Selects G0 character set designated by a select character set sequence.
Device control 1 DC1 021 Processed as XON. DC1 causes terminal to continue transmitting characters.
Device control 3 DC3 023 Processed as XOFF. DC3 causes terminal to stop transmitting all characters except XOFF and XON. DC3 can also be selected as a half-duplex turnaround character.
Cancel CAN 030 If received during an escape or control sequence, cancels the sequence and displays substitution character ( ).
Substitute SUB 032 Processed as CAN.
Escape ESC 033 Processed as a sequence introducer.
