Chapter 6 DEVICES

The device may be specified on the command line. Otherwise TD sets the output device according to the logical name PLOT_TERM or if it is not defined PLOT_DEVICE. If neither is defined the device is assumed to be a Talaris printer. Normally PLOT_TERM is automatically set when you log in. It is not defined for a batch job. This means that TD uses your terminal when in interactive mode, and the Talaris while in a batch stream. The login procedure defines PLOT_TERM by asking the terminal for its ANSWERBACK message. This message must be set properly inside the terminal. You need to know how to SET-UP the ANSWERBACK message. For more information see:COMMANDS SET DEVICE
