Manipulating Keep Current Algorithm Files
The Keep Current service allows you to download new and updated
device algorithms from the Keep Current Bulletin Board System. Keep
Current algorithms are made available to Keep Current subscribers
before they are incorporated in an update kit.
See the
Keep Current User Manual
for more information and for
instructions on downloading Keep Current algorithms.
Accessing the Keep
Current Menu
Before you can manipulate a Keep Current algorithm file, you must
access the Keep Current menu, which can only be done with a full screen
terminal that emulates one of the following:
• ANSI 3.64 compatible terminals
• DEC VT-100 compatible terminals (supported by TaskLink)
• Qume QVT-101 compatible terminals
• TELEVIDEO TVI--910 compatible terminals
• Wyse WY-30 compatible terminals
If you are using handler control software, consult the documentation to
see if it supports one of the terminal types listed above.
