3.2 Emulation
As a default the ida FS 250 will emulate IBM 3812/5219/3816.
The ida FS 250 PDS emulates IPDS as a default.
You can select emulation in two ways. Either via the address switch or via the
line using FSL function Y37.
The following emulations are supported by the ida FS 250:
IBM 3812/5219/3816
IBM 5224
IBM 5225
IBM 5256
IBM 4234
If you wish to see the current emulation, you can generate a test printout by
turning the address switch to the T-position.
3.2.1 Via the Address Switch
Emulation selected on the address switch is described below.
The T-cable must be disconnected from the converter before changing
emulation.
NOTE: Make sure that you have set the address switch before you switch
power on.
Select emulation on the address switch as follows:
1. Switch off the box.
2. Turn the address switch to the "T" position. Switch on power to box.
3. When the ida FS 250 is ready, it will eject a page with the following
message:
"Current emulation is xxxx"
4. When the address switch is turned to a new position, a new message
stating the current emulation will be printed after a few seconds.
5. When the desired emulation has been set, you must switch power off and
set the address correctly again (values 0-6). Select one of the following
emulations shown below.
