Using this tab, you can specify the translation table (.TBL file) to use for converting data sent from the host to the PC, and for converting data sent from the PC to the host.
Usually, you specify the same translation table for both Host To Screen and Screen To Host and select Invert for one or the other (usually Host To Screen).

Select this option to translate the character to the right of the equal sign in the translation table into the character to the left of the equal sign. For example, if the translation table says A=B, selecting this option means that B will be translated into A. If you clear this option, the character to the left of the equal sign is translated into the character to the right. The translation tables provided with T27 always list the extended characters to the left of the equal sign. If you are using these tables for both Host To Screen and Screen To Host, select Invert only for Host To Screen. |
