Typically, promotional display data files are developed on the system
processor or a personal computer (PC), using a commercially available
graphics software package. These graphic data files are formatted
using the WinForm utility, and then downloaded from the host
workstation and stored in the 5992.
The 5992 is loaded with its operating system at the factory, and is
delivered in a fully functional condition. A lithium battery provides
memory retention voltages for all RAM locations.
Communication Interface
The NCR 5992 communicates with a host workstation using one of two
interfaces: EIA-232 or IBM-EIA-485. The interface cable used dictates
the communication type.
An interface cable provides the required electrical conductors for
signals between the host workstation and the 5992. Although two
different cables are available; the one supplied is for the
communications type specified in your order.
EIA-232
EIA-232 protocol transmission is a synchronous, half duplex. The data
format is 7, 8 or 9 data bits, parity or no parity, and one stop bit. Baud
rates up to 38.4 Kbps are supported by the device. However, the NCR
diagnostics and utilities only supports up to 19.2Kbps. The 5992 can
either manually select or automatically detect the host data rate.
