EL T320 Installation and Users Guide

This chapter introduces you to the ELT320 Flat Panel Video Display Terminal and

includes a short description to some general features and operating modes.

The ELT320 is an alphanumeric video terminal which is functionally compatible

with the DEC VT320 terolinal and also includes numerous additional advanced
features. This terminal can operate on-line to a host system or the host can be put
on hold sending your input into page memory of the teIminal. The terminal stores
data received from the host, until you put it back on-line. As is the case with any
other emulator, the ELT320 has some minor variances. If you would like more
information, call Planar Applications Engineering and ask for the EL T320

Compatibility Applications note.
The features listed below will be described in detail in the following chapters.

GENERAL FEATURES

The ELT320 is compatible with Digital's Vf320 terminal and also offers additional

new features.

Page Memory

Status Line

The screen will display 25 lines X 80 columns

with yellow characters on a jet black
background or black characters on a yellow

background.
You can store up to 19,008 characters in 1 to

6 pages 4)f internal memory .

This line of text at the bottom of the screen

displays the operating status of the ELT320.

PLANAR

Local Editing

The EL T320 stores your typed characters
before sending them to the host system. Your
application must support this feature.

Selective Erase Capability

5 Character Sets

You can erase part or all of a line of text with
this feature.

Each character set contains 94 characters
including DEC Technical and ISO Latin
characters.

High Speed Communications

Unpacking

Remove the temlinal carefully from the container. Save all packing material in case
the terminal must be shipped again. After unpacking, check whether the terminal
is damaged. Immediately notify the shipping company if damage has occurred.

Operating Environment

EL 1320 Installation and Users Guide

The EL T320 can be operated in the usual office environment and does not require

special air-conditioning.

Mounting Options

The ELT320 is available with several options for supporting the tenninal. The Desk

Stand has a small 7" x 9" (18 cm x 23cm) foot print. The Moveable Ann suspends
the terminal above other items you may have on your work surface. The unique

wall mount provides a convenient way to locate full terminal functionality right at
the point of data collection. Extending less than 5 inches from the wall, the ELT320
is housed out of the way and is immediately accessible when needed.

Detailed instructions for adapting the terminal to your work space are included
with the mounting option.

Connection to Host Computer

The EL T320 can be connected to the host computer through the HOST connector.
The HOST 9 pin D type connector is an RS-232-C interface.
The HOST 6 pin DEC type connector is an RS-423 interface.

The RS-232-C connection can be made directly to the host or through a MODEM or

t

terminal selVer to host.

Communication parameters can be selected in Set-Up. (See Chapter 4 in this

Manual.)

Getting Started

When you install your ELT320 all operating features are set to their factory-default
settings. This setting works with most computer systems. If you have to set some
features to match your host system, see Chapter 4 -Set-up.

To connect the terminal to your host system you must have the following properly
set:

.The host port selected for use­.The keyboard language.
.The baud rate and character fonnat.
.The emulation type.

Brightness Control
The brightness control is a thumbwheellocated at the bottom edge of the face of

the terminal. The control adjusts the display's brightness level from full bright to
half bright This range allows the user to change the brightness to compensate for
environmental light levels. Clockwise rotation increases the display brightness.

When the brightness is reduced, contrast is diminished.

Note: Some units do not have brightness controls.

Power On Indicator
When the EL T320 Power Switch has been pressed to the On position, a yellow
LED indicates the 12V power supply is on.

The ELT320 can work as an interactive or ediing terminal. As an interactive
terminal, the ELT320 sends each character yOll type directly to the host system.
The host performs your edits, for example, in5erting and deleting text As an
editing terminal, the ELT320 stores your text ir1 page memory. You edit your text

on the terminal, then send a block of edited t~xt to the system. This kind of
editing is called local editing. While you edil: text on the terminal, the system is
free to perform other tasks. This screen lets you select edit mode and set the

The compose sequences you can use depend on the Keyboard Dialect, and the

Character Set Mode (typewriter or data processing) features. Table 5-2 lists the
compose sequences you can use in multinatiDnal mode. In national mode, use

table 5-3 (typewriter keyboard) or table 5-4 (data processing keyboard).

You can use three-stroke sequences on all kt:yboards. To display a character in
column 1 of tables 5-2, 5-3 or 5-4 press the Compose Character key then type
the two characters in column 2, to produce tJle character you want

German Keyboard Functionality
German Keyboard Dialect

On the German keyboard, the "Compose Character" key is replaced by "Group
Shift" and "A1temate Shift".

If you select the German Keyboard dialect in the Set-up Directory, the "Group
Shift" key replaces the "Compose Character" key on the left side of the keyboard
and" Alternate Shift" replaces the "Compose <:haracter" key on the right side of the

keyboard.
Group Shift

Many keys on the German keyboard have a ::econd group of legends on the right
half of their keycap. These legends are called Group-2.

To enter a single character from Group-2, pr(:ss and release the "Group Shift" key.
An alTow symbol shows up in the 25th status line to indicate that you have

selected the Group-2 keys. Type the key that has the desired character on the right
half of the keycap. The character appears on the screen, and the alTow indicator
turns off.

To enter a series of characters from Group-2, hold down the "Group Shift" key and

type the series of keys that have the desired <:haracters on the right half of their
keycaps. The characters appear on the screer:. When you are done typing
characters from Group 2, release the "Group ;5hift" key. The arrow indicator turns
off.

78

Alternate Shift

"Alternate Shift" is a modifier key, used to generate a no break space (NBSP) or

soft hyphen (SHY) character.

Alternate Shift + space bar = NBSP chal-acter
Alternate Shift + -= SHY character .
