- Summary of ANSI standards for ASCII terminals Joe Smith, 18-May-84
- Contents:
- 1. Overview and Definitions
- 2. General rules for interpreting an ESCape Sequence
- 3. General rules for interpreting a Control Sequence
- 4. C0 and C1 control codes in numeric order
- 5. Two and three-character ESCape Sequences in numeric order
- 6. Control Sequences in numeric order
- 7. VT100 emulation requirements
- The VT100 USER GUIDE and ANSI standard X3.64-1979 both list the ANSI ESCape
- sequences in alphabetic order by mnemonic, but do not have a have a cross
- reference in order by ASCII code. This paper lists the combination of all
- definitions from the three ANSI standards in numeric order. For a description
- of the advantages of using these standards, see the article "Toward
- Standardized Video Terminals" in the April-1984 issue of BYTE magazine.
- ANSI X3.4-1977 defines the 7-bit ASCII character set (C0 and G0). It was
- written in 1968, revised in 1977, and explains the decisions made in laying out
- the ASCII code. In particular, it explains why ANSI chose to make ASCII
- incompatible with EBCDIC in order to make it self-consistant.
- ANSI X3.41-1974 introduces the idea of an 8-bit ASCII character set (C1 and G1
- in addition to the existing C0 and G0). It describes how to use the 8-bit
- features in a 7-bit environment. X3.41 defines the format of all ESCape
- sequences, but defines only the 3-character ones with a parameter character
- in the middle. These instruct the terminal how to interpret the C0, G0, C1,
- and G1 characters (such as by selecting different character-set ROMs).
- Note: NAPLPS does videotex graphics by redefining the C1 set and
- selecting alternate G0, G1, G2, and G3 sets.
- See the February 1983 issue of BYTE magazine for details.
- ANSI X3.64-1979 defines the remaining ESCape sequences. It defines all the C1
- control characters, and specifies that certain two-character ESCape sequences
- in the 7-bit environment are to act exactly like the 8-bit C1 control set.
- X3.64 introduces the idea of a Control-Sequence, which starts with CSI
- character, has an indefinite length, and is terminated by an alphabetic
- character. The VT100 was one of the first terminals to implement this
- standard.
- Definitions:
- Control Character - A single character with an ASCII code with the range
- of 000 to 037 and 200 to 237 octal, 00 to 1F and 80 to 9F hex.
- Escape Sequence - A two or three character string staring with ESCape.
- (Four or more character strings are allowed but not defined.)
- Control Sequence - A string starting with CSI (233 octal, 9B hex) or
- with ESCape Left-Bracket, and terminated by an alphabetic character.
- Any number of parameter characters (digits 0 to 9, semicolon, and
- question mark) may appear within the Control Sequence. The terminating
- character may be preceded by an intermediate character (such as space).
- Character classifications:
- C0 Control 000-037 octal, 00-1F hex (G0 is 041-176 octal, 21-7E hex)
- SPACE 040+240 octal, 20+A0 hex Always and everywhere a blank space
- Intermediate 040-057 octal, 20-2F hex !"#$%&'()*+,-./
- Parameters 060-077 octal, 30-3F hex 0123456789:;<=>?
- Uppercase 100-137 octal, 40-5F hex @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_
- Lowercase 140-176 octal, 60-7E hex `abcdefghijlkmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
- Alphabetic 100-176 octal, 40-7E hex (all of upper and lower case)
- Delete 177 octal, 7F hex Always and everywhere ignored
- C1 Control 200-237 octal, 80-9F hex 32 additional control characters
- G1 Displayable 241-376 octal, A1-FE hex 94 additional displayable characters
- Special 240+377 octal, A0+FF hex Same as SPACE and DELETE
- Note that in this paper, the terms uppercase, lowercase, and alphabetics
- include more characters than just A to Z.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- General rules for interpreting an ESCape Sequence:
- An ESCape Sequence starts with the ESC character (033 octal, 1B hex).
- The length of the ESCape Sequence depends on the character that immediately
- follows the ESCape.
- If the next character is
- C0 control: Interpret it first, then resume processing ESCape sequence.
- Example: CR, LF, XON, and XOFF work as normal within an ESCape sequence.
- Intermediate: Expect zero or more intermediates, a parameter terminates
- a private function, an alphabetic terminates a standard sequence.
- Example: ESC ( A defines standard character set, ESC ( 0 a DEC set.
- Parameter: End of a private 2-character escape sequence.
- Example: ESC = sets special keypad mode, ESC > clears it.
- Uppercase: Translate it into a C1 control character and act on it.
- Example: ESC D does indexes down, ESC M indexes up. (CSI is special)
- Lowercase: End of a standard 2-character escape sequence.
- Example: ESC c resets the terminal.
- Delete: Ignore it, and continue interpreting the ESCape sequence
- C1 and G1: Treat the same as their 7-bit counterparts
- Note that CSI is the two-character sequence ESCape left-bracket or the 8-bit
- C1 code of 233 octal, 9B hex. CSI introduces a Control Sequence, which
- continues until an alphabetic character is received.
- General rules for interpreting a Control Sequence:
- 1) It starts with CSI, the Control Sequence Introducer.
- 2) It contains any number of parameter characters (0123456789:;<=>?).
- 3) It terminates with an alphabetic character.
- 4) Intermediate characters (if any) immediately precede the terminator.
- If the first character after CSI is one of "<=>?" (074-077 octal, 3C-3F hex),
- then Control Sequence is to be interpreted according to private standards (such
- as setting and resetting modes not defined by ANSI). The terminal should
- expect any number of numeric parameters, separated by semicolons (073 octal,
- 3B hex). Only after the terminating alphabetic character is received should
- the terminal act on the Control Sequence.

- Control Sequences are started by either ESC [ or CSI and are terminated by an
- "alphabetic" character (100 to 176 octal, 40 to 7E hex). Intermediate
- characters are space through slash (40 to 57 octal, 20 to 2F hex) and parameter
- characters are zero through question mark (60 to 77 octal, 30 to 3F hex,
- including digits and semicolon). Parameters consist of zero or more decimal
- numbers separated by semicolons. Leading zeros are optional, leading blanks
- are not allowed. If no digits precede the final character, the default
- parameter is used. Many functions treat a parameter of 0 as if it were 1.

- ==============================================================================
- Minimum requirements for VT100 emulation:
- 1) To act as a passive display, implement the 4 cursor commands, the 2 erase
- commands, direct cursor addressing, and at least inverse characters.
- The software should be capable of handling strings with 16 numeric parameters
- with values in the range of 0 to 255.
- [A Move cursor up one row, stop if a top of screen
- [B Move cursor down one row, stop if at bottom of screen
- [C Move cursor forward one column, stop if at right edge of screen
- [D Move cursor backward one column, stop if at left edge of screen
- [H Home to row 1 column 1 (also [1;1H)
- [J Clear from current position to bottom of screen
- [K Clear from current position to end of line
- [24;80H Position to line 24 column 80 (any line 1 to 24, any column 1 to 132)
- [0m Clear attributes to normal characters
- [7m Add the inverse video attribute to succeeding characters
- [0;7m Set character attributes to inverse video only
- 2) To enter data in VT100 mode, implement the 4 cursor keys and the 4 PF keys.
- It must be possible to enter ESC, TAB, BS, DEL, and LF from the keyboard.
- [A Sent by the up-cursor key (alternately ESC O A)
- [B Sent by the down-cursor key (alternately ESC O B)
- [C Sent by the right-cursor key (alternately ESC O C)
- [D Sent by the left-cursor key (alternately ESC O D)
- OP PF1 key sends ESC O P
- OQ PF2 key sends ESC O Q
- OR PF3 key sends ESC O R
- OS PF3 key sends ESC O S
- [c Request for the terminal to identify itself
- [?1;0c VT100 with memory for 24 by 80, inverse video character attribute
- [?1;2c VT100 capable of 132 column mode, with bold+blink+underline+inverse
- 3) When doing full-screen editing on a VT100, implement directed erase, the
- numeric keypad in applications mode, and the limited scrolling region.
- The latter is needed to do insert/delete line functions without rewriting
- the screen.
- [0J Erase from current position to bottom of screen inclusive
- [1J Erase from top of screen to current position inclusive
- [2J Erase entire screen (without moving the cursor)
- [0K Erase from current position to end of line inclusive
- [1K Erase from beginning of line to current position inclusive
- [2K Erase entire line (without moving cursor)
- [12;24r Set scrolling region to lines 12 thru 24. If a linefeed or an
- INDex is received while on line 24, the former line 12 is deleted
- and rows 13-24 move up. If a RI (reverse Index) is received while
- on line 12, a blank line is inserted there as rows 12-13 move down.
- All VT100 compatible terminals (except GIGI) have this feature.
- ESC = Set numeric keypad to applications mode
- ESC > Set numeric keypad to numbers mode
- OA Up-cursor key sends ESC O A after ESC = ESC [ ? 1 h
- OB Down-cursor key sends ESC O B " " "
- OC Right-cursor key sends ESC O B " " "
- OB Left-cursor key sends ESC O B " " "
- OM ENTER key sends ESC O M after ESC =
- Ol COMMA on keypad sends ESC O l " " (that's lowercase L)
- Om MINUS on keypad sends ESC O m " "
- Op ZERO on keypad sends ESC O p " "
- Oq ONE on keypad sends ESC O q " "
- Or TWO on keypad sends ESC O r " "
- Os THREE on keypad sends ESC O s " "
- Ot FOUR on keypad sends ESC O t " "
- Ou FIVE on keypad sends ESC O u " "
- Ov SIX on keypad sends ESC O v " "
- Ow SEVEN on keypad sends ESC O w " "
- Ox EIGHT on keypad sends ESC O x " "
- Oy NINE on keypad sends ESC O y " "
- 4) If the hardware is capable of double width/double height:
- #3 Top half of a double-width double-height line
- #4 Bottom half of a double-width double-height line
- #5 Make line single-width (lines are set this way when cleared by ESC [ J)
- #6 Make line double-width normal height (40 or 66 characters)
- 5) If the terminal emulator is capable of insert/delete characters,
- insert/delete lines, insert/replace mode, and can do a full-screen dump to
- the printer (in text mode), then it should identify itself as a VT102
- [c Request for the terminal to identify itself
- [?6c VT102 (printer port, 132 column mode, and ins/del standard)
- [1@ Insert a blank character position (shift line to the right)
- [1P Delete a character position (shift line to the left)
- [1L Insert blank line at current row (shift screen down)
- [1M Delete the current line (shift screen up)
- [4h Set insert mode, new characters shove existing ones to the right
