VT510 Video Terminal Programmer Information

DSR—Data Integrity Report

The host asks for the status of the data integrity flag. The data integrity flag indicates the integrity of the data flow between the terminal and host. This flag is reset each time the terminal sends a data integrity report.

Programming Tip
Applications using the flag should always reset the flag before sending data to the terminal. You can reset the flag with a DSR request (CSI ? 75 n) sequence. After the application sends data, the application should send another request to find out if a parity error has occurred.
