TA6530 Emulation

The Status Line

The last (25th) line in the window is used to display messages and status information.
You can enable or disable display of a border which separates this line from the rest
of the lines above it by setting the Status Border option in the TA6530 Settings
dialog box accordingly.

The status line is divided into two fields. The first and leftmost field is used to display
messages of up to 64 characters in length. The second field displays the current
operating status and will usually display at least one of the following status
indicators:

ANSI

The emulation is operating in ANSI mode.

BLOCK

The emulation is operating in Block mode.

CNTRL

Display controls mode activated. In this mode, received control codes
will be displayed but not actioned.

CONV

HOLD

Hold screen is activated. The emulation stops processing incoming data
when the Ctrl + S keys are pressed in ANSI mode. To release the hold
state and continue normal processing, press Ctrl + Q.

INS

Insert mode is activated. In Block mode, keyboard entered characters are
inserted at the cursor position without overwriting already existing
characters.

LOCKED The keyboard has been temporarily locked by the application.

NUM

Num lock is activated. Num lock is toggled on and off by pressing the
keys Alt + Num Lock.

When the emulation detects an error, the status line will be temporarily replaced by
an error line which will display one of the following messages:
