ABSTRACT

Th is package includes subroutines which allow the user to type characters on
Iine represented by 1, 3, or a string of codes. Routines are included to facil itate formating
by the user. The user must supply his own subroutine, OTY, to type out one Teletype character.

REQUIREMENTS

3.3

Equipment
Teleprinter

USAGE

4. 1

The Teletype Output Package source tape should be assembled with the program
which refers to it, orassembledus:inga symbol punch which contains the required subroutine calls
(see Digital-7-3-S). In either case, the operation of the routines are independent of their
position in memory. The user must supply a type-out routine, OTY, which is referred to by
the package (see be low) .
4.2

Calling Sequence
The following call ing sequences may be used to call the Teletype output sub-

routines.
Format Routines
TCR

Type a carriage return and Iine feed.

TSP

Type a space.

TYT
Type a tab. Tab stops 'are located every TTAB spaces. This
value is initially 10, but may be altered by the user. The subroutine counts the number of
characters being printed on a I ine so that a TYT call will generate the proper number of spaces
for a consistant format. TCR resets the character count to

TIN
Initialize the teleprinter. Type a carriage return, line feed,
lower case, and set the character count to
TI N shou Id be called before any other subroutines in the package.

·Character Type-out Routines
TDIGIT

Type the digit (code value from 0 to 9) in the right four bits of

the AC"

tiBRARY

Digital-7-10-0
Page 3

TYl

Type the character represented by the code in the right six bits

of the AC.

TY3

Type the three characters represented by the codes in left, middle,
and right six bits of the AC, respectively.

lAW A
TSR

Type the string of characters represented by the codes stored beginning in register A. A code having zeros in the leftmost five bits terminates the string.

All characters are typed by call ing the subroutine OTY, which must be defined
by the user. Two sequences are suggested, one for use with programs which use program interrupt for I/O service, and one for programs which do not.
NOTE: When using a Type 28 Teletype, TLS will type characters
represented by 5-bit codes; when using a Type 33 Teletype, TLS
wi II type from a-bit codes.
The following subroutine works very well with interrupt programs where buffering
is not needed:

OTY,

o
TLS
JMP.
JMP I OTY

TYINT,

TCF
ISZ 0
DISMISS

When using the associated program interrupt routine, an interrupt from the
teleprinter should execute the command:
JMP TYINT
In addition, the symbol DISMIS should be defined as a JMP to the section of
the interrupt routine which restores the AC and Iink and dismisses the program interrupt.
The following subroutine is suggested for noninterrupt programs:

OTY

o
TLS
TSF
JMP .-1
JMP I OTY

DESCRIPTION

6. 1

Discussion

These routines assume that the codes which represent the characters to be typed
consist of six bits. The leftmost five bits are the Baudot code for the character; the rightmost
bit indic:ates the case of the character (l for upper case, 0 for lower case). This format is
generated by the PDP-7 Assember's character input operations in Teletype mode {see
Digital-7-3-S}. The case of the Type 28 Teletype is automatically checked {and adjusted if
necessary} when each character is typed. A code whose leftmost five bits are 0 is not printed.
When using a PDP-7 with KSR33 teleprinter, the 5-bit Teletype codes are translated to 8- bit Type 33 codes (ASCII plus 200) before printing. Case shifts on the KSR33 are
nonexistent. References to case in this document may be ignored when using the KSR33.
WARNING

When using a Type 28 Teletype the routine keeps track of keyboard
case and assumes it knows the case at all times. However, if the
user is also using the keyboard for input, he may change the case
without the routines knowing it, possibly causing hash at the next
type-out. For this reason and also for convenience, it is suggested
that the user keep track of case by using the same indicators the
package uses.
The contents of the register OCS indicates the case of the teleprinter, 33 for upper case and 378 for lower case. If this is
8
changed wnenever a case shift is typed upon input, no problems
of this type will be encountered.
