The virtual screen is the full 25 line x 80 column screen generated by the host computer. An
example of a virtual screen is the screen you view when you use a personal computer. The display
window is the screen on the computer that allows portions of the virtual screen to be seen.
Depending on the font size used, the MX3 display window is:
Font Size in Pixels Rows Columns
8x8 30 80
8x16 15 80
The MX3 display window can be panned up and down using keypress sequences so the user can
view an entire virtual 640 x 480 pixel screen.
Initially, using the default 8 x 16 pixel font, the top half (15 rows x 80 columns) of a 25 line
virtual screen is displayed.
When the top portion of the virtual screen is displayed and the Pan Down key sequence is pressed,
rows 10 through 25 are shown on the display (this action leaves rows 10 through 15 on the
screen).
When the Home key sequence (2
nd
+ Left Arrow) is pressed, the cursor moves to the top left hand
corner of the virtual screen display.
Note: Additional fonts are supported in graphics mode and are dependent on the Terminal
Emulator.
Please refer to the “MX3 Reference Guide” for technical information about the Panning function.
