INTRODUCTION

The Texas Instruments Silent 700* Model 763 memory send/receive data terminal and the Model 765 portable memory data terminal are designed for easy, versatile

storage and communication of data. The memory

in both models is implemented using a revolutionary new electromagnetic by Texas Instruments. The Model

bubble

memory device manufactured

763 is a compact,

table-top data terminal designed for office use. The Model

765 is a portable unit furnished with

an

attachecase-like cover to make it useful wherever a standard telephone and an electrical outlet are available. Both models are capable of sending

and

receiving

information over long or short distances with equal ease.

A memory data terminal, usually referred to as an auto-

matic send/receive

(ASR) data terminal,

is

equipped to

store data in its memory (magnetic bubble, magnetic

Data Terminal Communications

A data terminal generates codes. The Models 763/765 memory data terminals use the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), commonly called

"as-key", codes can and/or

transmitted to, and understood by, other devices. The Models record, and print devices such as data terminals, computers, video terminals, and data loggers.

The code system consists of various combinations of ones and zeros corresponding to numbers, alphabet characters, control characters, or symbols. Combina-

763/765 terminals also understand,

tape, paper tape, diskettes, etc.) from its built-in keyboard or from a communications line (usually a telephone line). The stored data is then available for editing

(corrections, changes, deletions, additions to the recorded text), printing, and for transmission to other devices at much higher speeds than manual keyboard typing.

(called nonvolatile memory). The bubble memory offers important advantages over commonly used paper tape, tape cassette, and diskette memories used in other data terminals: Faster access to its stored data, smaller size, less weight, and lower power consumption are only a few advantages bubble memory in the Models

How are the digital signals transmitted from one device to another?

If the distance is about 15 meters (50 feet)

or less, cables are used to interconnect the devices and the devices are referred to as hard wired together

Interactive Operation

Interactive (on-line) operation describes the ability of

the terminal operator to communicate with the terminal itself and, through the terminal, with remote data processing equipment.

Communications procedures may differ from one data terminal installation to another, depending data processing devices with which the Models 763/ 765 may be communicating. Therefore, specific stepby-step instructions must be tailored for your communications network. General operating principles applicable to

The Terminal Memory System

One

of

the important features of the Models 763/765 is their ability to record into and play back information from the terminal memory. The memory enables you to enter all your information, review then transmit the information to other data processing equipment.

files. The size of the files used

of

files, the file itself is composed of records.

Creating Files

The files used in memory must be created by the operator, and each file has four parameters that must be specified by the operator when creating the file. The four factors are FILE NAME, FILE FORMAT, FILE SIZE, and RECORD SIZE. The following paragraphs describe each parameter

Continuous designated record is filled before another record is started. Therefore, each record may contain one or more lines of data. If the line from the above example was

recorded in a CONTINUOUS-formatted file, after the 62 characters were entered the terminal would use the first 10 characters of the next line to fill up the remaining space more difficult to edit than the LINE format, it makes maximum use of memory. When the data stored terminal memory is transmitted to a remote device through the communications channel terminal printer, it will appear identical, whether corded in LINE or CONTINUOUS format.

ASR Mode Functions

When the terminal is in the ASR mode, the function keys F1

control the designated PLAYBACK and RECORD files. Only one file at a time can be designated the PLAYBACK

file and only one file can be designated

the

RECORD file. A CHANGE command is used to

designate one of the

procedure is as

follows:

1.

Keys. The operation

key are described in this section. For additional

details

concerning the editing functions, see Section I of the

Systems Manual.

F1 -INDEX

Function.

The INDEX function provides access to records during file editing. Records are accessed

relative to a record pOinter which "points" to the

record in the

file which was accessed. Upon entry into

the

EDIT mode, the record pointer will point immediately

above the first record in the file.

Activating the INDEX function causes the terminal to perform a carriage return,

followed by a line feed and

printing

of

the INDEX prompt symbol + . A signed

(+

or

- ) number from 0 to 999 may then be typed to specify

the

location of the desired record relative to the record

currently pointed to. If no sign

(+

or

-)

is specified, the teminal assumes the number is positive. The entered number

may be corrected using the CHAR key.

-

Once the desired number is entered, the entry is terminated by pressing the

SKIP key. The terminal will then add (subtract if a negative sign was entered) the number to (from) the current record

location and go to the

new

record location. When the requested location is

reached, the

terminal will print the record, making it

available for editing.

For

example, if the current location is the tenth record in

a

file, typing a

-6

will cause the INDEX function to

relocate

the

record "pOinter"

to

the fourth record in the

file.

If

the SKIP key is pressed before a number is entered, a

1 is assumed by the terminal. As a result, the terminal will then point to the next record in the file. Typing a zero will keep the

pOinter at the current record location. Acti-

vating any of the other

"record locating" function keys

(F1

- F4),

or

the INSERT function key, will terminate

the

INDEX function and will initiate the new function.

In summary:

•

A signed number followed by pressing the SKIP key will move the editing record pointer that number

of

records and direction

(+

or

-).

For exampie, if you want to review the text six records before the current record in the

file, type a

-6.

If no

number is entered, a

+1

is assumed.

•

Section II

All files in memory start at record 0 and data starts at record

1.

This means that record 0 is not used to

store data, but

simply. is a record which comes

before the first data record

in

the file. The concept

of record

0 is necessary to insert data before the

first record in the

file.

•

The editing record pointer cannot go to a negative record

location (Le., before the first record in the

file). For example,

ifthe

record pointer is located at

the fifth record in the file and you enter

-6,

the

record pointer

would not

"go

negative", but would

point

to

0, just before the first record

of

the file.

• If the number entered causes the pointer to move to a record beyond the

last record in the file, an

ETX (end of text)

symbol will be printed and the

record pointer will point to the

last existing record

in the

file.

F2

- FIND

Function.

The FIND function is used to locate a memory record which contains a defined character string (a group of characters). Upon activating F2, the

terminal will print the FIND prompt symbol ( (:. ) in the left margin. A character string of up to 30 characters may then be typed. While typing the char-

~

-

acter string, the CHAR and FIELD keys may be used to

- -

make corrections.

After entry

of

the character string, press the SKIP key.

The

terminal then will forward space once and print the FIND symbol and begin a search for the character string in the

file contents. The search will start at the current

record location plus one record. When the desired

record is

located, the terminal will print the record and

the record pointer will point to this record. The record

then is

available for editing.

If the defined character string is not found before the end

of

the text

is

reached, the terminal will print an ETX,

indicating the end

of

the text, and the record pointer will

point to the

last record in the file.

Multiple

searches for the same text (that is, searching

for

the same character string in more than one record)

may

be accomplished by activating F2 and then using

- .

the

FIELD key (SHIFT and FIELD) which will cause the

most

recently defined character string to be reprinted.

Pressing

the

SKIP key at this point will cause the termi-

nal to begin the search for that string. .

Some

Editing A Record

Once a record is located by using one of the record

locating functions

(F1

through F4), the record will be

printed by the terminal, and the printhead

will remain at

the end

of

the record. The record then may be edited

using the

following guidelines:

• The CHAR and FIELD keys may be used to position

the printheadbelow the character(s) to be

modified. Then you may

"overstrike" existing characters, or you may add characters to the existing contents of the record as

long as the designated maximum record length is not exceeded.

• The DELETE CHARACTER function

(FS)

may be

used to delete characters within the record.

• The INSERT function may

be

used to insert char-

acters in the record.

• The ENTER key may be used to delete all characters to the right of the printhead,

close the current

record, and access the next record in the

file. (The SKIP key will perform the same function, but only on LINE-formatted files.) Using the ENTER key you can step through an entire file, record by

record, since pressing the ENTER key

also will

cause the next record in the

file to be printed and

made available for editing.

• When editing CONTINUOUS-formatted files, the

SKIP key will generate a special end-of-line

(EOl)

symbol

E3

in the record (This symbol

is

used as

a

line delimiter within the record.)

• Invoking any "record-locating" function

(F1 through F4) while editing a record will terminate access to that record, store that record in memory, and activate the selected function.

Section

II

Terminating An Editing Session

Terminating an editing session must be accomplished by invoking the

STOP function (F8) which causes all pending editing operations to finish and returns the terminal to the ASR mode.

An

editing session should never be terminated by pressing the CMD key: inserted or deleted data may be seriously altered. Terminating

an editing session purges CONTINUOUS-formatted files of filler characters by shifting data so as to replace the purged filler-character space in memory. A message, ONE MOMENT PLEASE, will be printed to signify this operation.

SECTION IV

TERMINAL COMMUNICATIONS

The communications systems of the Models 7631765 terminals enables the terminals to exchange data with a variety

of

other data communications equipment. This section provides information needed by the operator to use

the terminal with other communications devices.

The

Model 765 has a built-in acoustic coupler which

uses the handset

of

an ordinary telephone to establish a communications line. The acoustic coupler converts the terminal digital signals into audible tones. The audible

tones, much like a voice, travel over the telephone lines to a device that converts the tones back into digital signals that can be used by a remote device. The acoustic coupler, which contains a modem, is built into the rear

of

The

the Model 765.

Model 763 is capable of operating in several communications c.onfigurations, each of which is described in this section. The primary use of the Model 763 is

in

hard-wired and external-modem configurations. The Model 765 is also capable of several communications configurations, but its primary use is as a

portable memory terminal using its built-in acoustic coupler as the means

of

communications.

When a modem (also called a data set) is used with either terminal, a modem is necessary at both ends of

telephone lines. Several types of modems are avail-

the able on the commercial market, and it is very important that the same types of modems are used at both ends. If the modem is external to the terminal, the modem is hard wired to the the terminal

December 1979

These instructions assume familiarity with operation of the Model 763 or 765 memory terminal and assume adequate knowledge of RUN files and other programming features of the terminal.

Character Mapping is a method to permit real-time

substitution of certain characters received or transmit-

ted by the Models 763/765 memory terminals. The

primary use of character mapping is found sharing systems, particularly trol characters often have special functions which differ from the standard

Using character mapping, these characters to correspond to other characters can be ignored entirely. The

ASCII set can be mapped

for both received and transmitted data. With the character mapping feature

Example Figure 2, Part 1 is a sample terminal printout of a conversational session with a host system. It shows how a character mapping file may be defined by examining the differing character definitions between the host and the Model 7631765. In the example, the 00010, 00020, 00030 acters were transmitted by the terminal operator to the host system. Figure 2, Part 2 is an editor printout of the data recorded. Note that a line feed, a DC1, and DC3 also were sent by the host.
