Messages and Indicators
The operator may send messages to the host, picking out the numbers and some
characters on the buttons of the 16-button cursor. The menu may be used to send
messages, up to 100 characters. The LED’s of the cursor, whether 4- or 16-button, may be
lit and extinguished to serve as user-defined indicators. The host may also light any of the
numbered LED’s on the tablet display as indicators.
Enable/Disable Beep
The 2500 system produces two indicator tones to inform you of system conditions. The
lower tone is the system error tone. This tone sounds whenever a mistake is made in
command entry or message mode. It also sounds on power-up if the 2500 system fails any
of the power-up system tests.
The higher tone is the system utility tone. It sounds whenever a menu block is digitized or
when a cursor button is depressed in a command or message mode. It also sounds on
power-up to indicate the 2500 system is ready for operation. Transmission of the ASCII BEL
character (control G on most terminals or 07 HEX) from the host will also sound this tone.
When the normal tone program is disabled, the 2500 generates only the error tone. You
may still sound the higher tone by sending a BEL or Control G character to the tablet.
Host = ESC % V b CR
Menu = [SYSTEM FUNC 2] [b] [CR]
Where b can equal 8 or 9.
If b = 8
If b = 9 Only the error tone will be sounded.
Normal 2500 audio tones will be enabled.
