Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide
speeds up to 38,400 bps using hardware flow control. (If you are
using a HART cartridge at 57,600 bps, you may need to reduce this
setting to avoid losing data).
If you are using software flow control, this value should be much
lower, since there is often a significant delay between when Novaterm
sends the XOFF signal and when the remote computer actually stops
sending data.
4.6.4 XOFF character
With software flow control, this is the ASCII value of the character
used to stop the flow of incoming data. The default is 19, or CTRL-S,
which is the standard key used for pausing the flow of data. Some
bulletin boards use a different key for pausing, so you would need to
change this in that situation, if you were using software flow control.
4.6.5 XON character
With software flow control, this is the ASCII value of the character
used to resume the flow of data. The default is 17, or CTRL-Q, which
is the standard key used for this purpose. Some bulletin boards use a
different key for this, so you would need to change this option in that
situation, if you were using software flow control.
4.6.6 Line pacing
This option specifies the number of seconds to wait between lines
when transmitting a text file with the Textfile to modem or
Buffer file to modem options.
4.7 Miscellaneous options
4.7.1 Define F-keys
This option brings up the function key definition menu. (see 3.1.4,
Function keys for information on how these keys work). At the
function key enu, either press a function key or select it on the menu
to edit the key's definition.
Control keys may be imbedded within a function key string by
including a caret symbol ^ followed by the control key letter. For
example, to include the control-B in the string HELLO [CTRL-
B] THERE, you would type HELLO ^BTHERE. A carriage return
(which is CTRL-M) could be placed at the end of a string by entering
HI THERE^M.
