7-Bit vs. 8-Bit Operation
The terminal can be configured for 7-bit
and 8-bit operation.
When the terminal is configured for the
standard 7-bit operation, the ASCII <so>
code (which enables the active alternate
character set) applies through the end of
the current line; when the cursor moves to
the next lower line you must once again
issue a <so> if you wish to continue typing
in the active alternate character set.
When the terminal is configured for 8-bit
operation, the ASCII
< SO)
code operates
as if it was configured for 7-bit operation
with the eighth bit used to set the alternate
character set (if the alternate character set
is not the base set "@').
(:
If the alternate character set is the base (-
set (character set"@'), the terminal con-
figured for 8-bit operation operates as
discussed under "ISO/ASCII Character
Set."
