4. CONVERSATIONAL MACRO FUNCTION
B–62073E–2/03
56
In the conversational macro function the coordinate system using
character display and cursor display is called the character coordinate
system. The character coordinate system sets left/right direction as X
coordinate and up/down direction as Y coordinate. In the 9”CRT, the X
coordinate is 0 to 39 from left to right, and Y coordinate is 0 to 16 from
top to bottom; in the 14” CRT, X coordinate is 0 to 73 from left to right
and Y coordinate is 0 to 26 from top to bottom.
Further, display commands which exceed these ranges are ignored. 1 unit
is 1 character. However, the following sections cannot be displayed
because they are used by the system. In 9” CRT, the 0 line ON display
line, 12th line warning message line, 13, 14th line data input line, 15th
status display line sections; in the 14” CRT 0, lst ON display line, 21st
warning message line, 22nd data input line, 23rd status display line, 24th,
25th, 26th line software key frame sections.
Note
It is possible to write to a location to be used by system, but
once a character is displayed when set to a different screen,
there are cases that the character remains on the screen.
