WR0
Pointer 5
Status affects vector (Channel B
only). Transmit CRC Enable should
be set when first non-sync data is
sent to Z80 SIO. Need several sync
characters in the beginning of
message. Transmitter is fully
initialized.

Data Transfer and
Status Monitoring
When Interrupt (WAIT/READY) occurs:
Interrupt Occurs (Wait/ready
Becomes Active) When first data
byte is being sent, Wait Mode allows
CPU block transfer from memory to
SIO; Ready Mode allows DMA
block transfer from memory to SIO.
The DMA chip can be programmed
to capture special control characters
(by examining only the bits that
specify ASCII or EBCDIC control
characters), and interrupt CPU.
• Include/Exclude data byte from CRC
Accumulation (in SIO)
• Transfer data byte from CPU (or
memory) to SIO
• Detect and set appropriate flags for
control characters (in CPU)
• Reset Tx Underrun/EOM Latch WR0 if
last character of message is detected
• Update pointers and parameters (CPU)
Return from Interrupt
If Error Condition Or Status Change
Occurs:
Tx Underrun/EOM indicates either
Transmit Underrun (sync character
being sent) or end of message (CRC-
16 being sent).
• Transfer RR0 to CPU
• Execute Error Routine
• Return From Interrupt
Termination
Redefine Interrupt Modes, Update Modem
Control outputs (for example, turn off
RTS)
Program should gracefully terminate
