BREAK
Purpose Statement specifying a break interrupt character separately for the keyboard
and each serial communication channel.
Syntax BREAK,
is one of the following devices:
0 = "console:"
1 = "uart1:"
2 = "uart2:"
3 = "uart3:"
7 = "uart4:"
8 = "uart5"
is the decimal ASCII value for the break interrupt character.
Default: Comm. channels: ASCII 03 decimal
Console: ASCII 158 decimal ( + )
Remarks The execution of a program can be interrupted using a method specified
by the BREAK statement. In addition, the printing of a batch of labels can
also be interrupted and resumed by pressing the or the
key on the printer’s front panel.
To issue a break interrupt, by default, hold down the key and press
the key. Together these keys will produce the ASCII character 158
decimal (128 + 30), see Appendix A.
It is not possible to perform a break from the console on the PD41 printer.
It is possible to remap the keyboard, which may affect the keys used for
break interrupt. Please refer to the variable KEYBMAP$.
Another method is to transmit the character ASCII 03 decimal (default)
to the printer on one of the serial communication channels. The execution
will be interrupted regardless of any INPUT waiting (that is, INPUT [#],
LINE INPUT [#], and INPUT$).
The BREAK statement allows you to specify other ways of interrupting
the execution, for example by pressing another combination of keys on the
printer’s keyboard or transmitting another ASCII character from the host.
A specified break interrupt character is saved in the temporary memory
until the printer is restarted or REBOOTed, which may be confusing for
example when switching between programs. To change a break interrupt
character, specify a new one for the same device using a BREAK statement
and to remove it from memory, use a BREAK OFF statement.
The use of break interrupt is enabled or disabled separately for each device
by BREAK ON or BREAK OFF statements. By default, break interrupt
on the "console:" is enabled, while break interrupt on any of the communication
channels is disabled.
