Commands
Transparent Mode
Transparent mode can be entered from all programmer screens except:
� Editor screens
� Under/over-blow screen
� Yield Tally screen
� Help screens
� CRC mode
In Transparent mode you can communicate with a host computer connected to
one of the programmer ports. This mode causes the terminal connected to the
other programmer port to act as if it were connected directly to the host
computer. Use this mode to establish communication with the host (such as
logging in and running commands).
To enter and exit this mode, type ESC CTRL+T from the terminal. Transparent
mode does not support binary data transfers (this can be done via the Upload
and Download commands using one of the binary data formats). See page 2-7
for more information.
In Transparent mode, all key strokes entered on the terminal are passed
directly to the host with one exception. The ESC character omitted since it is
part of the Exit Transparent Mode command.
To send an ESC character to the host, enter two consecutive ESC characters
(the second one is passed to the host), or if ESC is followed by some character
other than a CTRL+T, the escape and the character are sent to the host.
