ASCII Character Set
When ASCII characters are downloaded to the DTAM, they may appear
different than the standard ASCII character. Use the following ASCII table
to determine what characters display for each decimal equivalent value
entered. Do not use a standard ASCII table.
There are two characters that display differently on the DTAM as compared
to A-B 6200 PLC Programming Software.

The DTAM is capable of displaying additional characters above the 96
standard ASCII characters (127 decimal / 80 Hex). To access characters
above 127 decimal / 80 Hex using the programming software, you must enter
a special sequence.
To program the desired character(s), you must be ready to create a screen.
Position the cursor where you want the special character positioned and
perform the following steps:
1. Identify the character in the ASCII character set table. As an example, we
will use the
1 character.
2. Identify the equivalent decimal code of the character.
For example, the
1 character is equivalent to 243 decimal.
3. Press and hold the [ALT] key and enter the decimal equivalent value.
Use the separate numeric keypad, not the top row numeric keys on your
keyboard.
A character will be displayed in the specified position.
For example, press and hold the [ALT] key and enter 0243 to enter a
1
character.
Note: The displayed character may be displayed as an unexpected character
on your computer monitor. When you download and display the character on
the DTAM, the correct character will be displayed (for example
1 displays
as  ).
Note: Values C0 through Cf are reserved for DPS functions and cannot be
inserted into a screen display. However, you can display these characters on
the DTAM Plus when received in the terminal mode (refer to the DTAM user
manuals).
