Class DeviceMode

Namespace

Microlithix.Text.Ansi

Assembly

AnsiParser.dll

The DeviceMode class defines a set of static constants representing device modes. Device modes indicate the ways in which a device transmits, receives, processes, or images data. The use of modes has been deprecated in order to ensure data compatibility and ease of interchange with a variety of equipment (ECMA-48).

Remarks

The ECMA-48 Standard is intended to be applicable to a very large range of devices in which there are variations. Some of these variations have been formalized in the form of modes. They deal with the ways in which a device transmits, receives, processes, or images data. Each mode has two states.

The states of the modes may be established explicitly in the data stream by the control functions SET MODE (SET MODE) and RESET MODE (RM) or may be established by agreement between sender and recipient. In an implementation, some or all of the modes may have one state only.

As noted in the summary, to ensure data compatibility and ease of interchange with a variety of equipment the use of modes is deprecated. If modes have to be implemented for backward compatibility it is recommended that the reset state of the modes be the initial state. Otherwise, explicit agreements will have to be negotiated between sender and recipient, to the detriment of "blind" interchange.
