Character Sets Character Sets The tables ASCII Control Values and Omron Adept Character Set list the standard Omron Adept character set. Values 0 to 127 (decimal) are the standard ASCII character set. Characters 1 to 31 are the common set of special and line-drawing characters. Characters 0 and 127 to 141 are Omron Adept additions to the standard sets. Characters 32 to 255 (excluding 127 through 141) are the ISO standard 8859-1 character set. Characters 145 to 159 are overstrike characters (see the OVERSTRIKE attribute to the /TERMINAL argument for the FSET instruction in the eV+ Language Reference Guide ).
Values 1 to 31 are also given special meaning in the extended Omron Adept character set when they are output to a graphics window with the GTYPE instruction. NOTE: The full character set is defined for font #1 only. Fonts #2 (medium font), #3 (large font), and #4 (small font) have defined characters for ASCII values 0 and 32 - 127. Fonts #5 and #6 have standard English characters for ASCII values 0 and 32 - 135 while ASCII 136 - 235 are Katakana and Hiragana characters. Font #5 is standard size and font #6 contains large characters. The last column in Omron Adept Character Set shows the Katakana and Hiragana characters. The Katakana characters are at ASCII 161 - 223.
The Hiragana characters are at ASCII 136 - 159 and 224 - 255. The character sets listed in ASCII Control Values and Omron Adept Character The sets are for use with graphics-based systems only. Characters with values 0 to 31 and 127 (decimal) have the control meanings listed in the following table when output to a serial line, an ASCII terminal, or the monitor window (with TYPE, PROMPT, or WRITE instructions). In files exported to other text editors or transmitted across serial lines, characters 0 to 31 are generally interpreted as having the specified control meaning.
The symbols shown for characters 0 to 31 and 127 in the table Omron Adept Character Set can be displayed only with the GTYPE instruction. Characters in the extended Omron Adept character set can be output using the $CHR function. For example: TYPE $CHR(229) outputs the character е to the monitor window. The instruction: GTYPE (glun) 50, 50, $CHR(229) outputs the same character to the window open on logical unit glun. eV+Language User's Guide, v2.x, 18318-000 Rev A Page 223
