Hi,
I noticed your email with comments about the 550 terminal. I have one
that has no vertical and am trying to get info so I can use another
terminal in its place. I'm trying to find out what the mode switch
position 2 in the on position does to the settings. ANy chance you
might be able to tell me that? That's the only MODE switch setting
used. The BAUD rate is set at 9600. When I try another ASCII
terminal, the characters come out incorrectly on the display of the
equipment I'm trying to use the ASCII terminal with. WHere as the
perkin elmer terminal gives the correct characters except there is no
vertical on the display so I can't read it.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ok, I got the manual off the shelf - here are the switch settings:
Switches 1 and 2 set the parity:
Switch 1 Switch 2 Parity
-------------------------
Off Off Odd
Off On Even
On Off Mark
On On Space
The other switches are for the other functions:
Switch # On Off
----------------------------------------------
Switch 3 1 stop bit 2 stop bits
Switch 4 50 Hz 60 Hz
Switch 5 Inverse video Standard video
Switch 6* - 12v open
Switch 7* + 12v open
Switch 8 Half Duplex Full Duplex
Switch 9 DTR High Line switch controlled DTR
* - Only applies to terminals with current loop option
Hopefully this is the information you were looking for, let me know if
it helps.
