8. 2 1 Setting Parameters There are two different ways to change the parameters of your QTERM B30 and make them permanent You can send software commands as described in chapter 2 and then save the setting to EEPROM using the Save Parameters to EEPROM command 1 You can store the commands necessary to change the parameters in a data file and load the data file into the terminal using JSETUP The rest of this chapter deals with using JSETUP to configure your terminal 3 22 Using JSETUP to Change Parameters JSETUP is a program that is included with this manual on a PC compatible disk With JSETUP it is possible to change some of the terminal parameters and use the new values as the power up default values JSETUP works by reading the parameter values from an ASCII text file this file s extension must be DAT A default example of this data file called CONFIG DAT is included with JSETUP on the floppy disk This file contains some ASCII strings that will be sent to the terminal which are actually software commands These commands can be edited before running JSETUP to allow you to set some parameter values of the terminal 3 2 3 Modifying the Data File Using a standard DOS text file editor you can edit the CONFIG DAT file You can also change the name of the file as long as it retains the DAT extension Any line beginning with a semi colon will be ignored as a comment Each line in the data file will be sent to the
