    Keyword            Description

    KEYPAD             Enables the use of the numeric keypad for
                       command entry. When PCA is in keypad mode,
                       you can associate keys on the numeric keypad
                       with PCA command definitions. Keypad mode is
                       enabled by default.
    NOKEYPAD           Disables the use of the numeric keypad for
                       command entry. You must disable keypad mode
                       when the program you are measuring requires
                       the numeric keypad on your terminal to be in
                       numeric mode.
    LOG_SCREEN         Causes screen images to be logged in the
                       log file each time the terminal screen is
                       updated. Screen logging occurs only if output
                       logging in general is enabled with the SET LOG
                       command.
    NOLOG_SCREEN       Disables the logging of screen images. NOLOG_
                       SCREEN is the default mode.
    MOVIE              Causes the terminal screen to be updated each
                       time a command line is read, even if the line
                       comes from a command file. In movie mode, you
                       can "play" a command file on the screen.
    NOMOVIE            Causes the terminal screen to be updated only
                       after each line of terminal input. NOMOVIE is
                       the default mode.
    SCREEN             Enables screen mode so that you see PCA output
                       in the form of screen displays viewed through
                       windows on the terminal screen. Screen mode
                       should be used only on VT100 or VT200 class
                       terminals.
    NOSCREEN           Disables screen mode. PCA output is then
                       displayed line by line. NOSCREEN is the
                       default mode.
    SCROLL             Causes the screen to be updated for every line
                       of output in screen mode. Thus, the output
                       scrolls through the output window. SCROLL is
                       the default mode.
    NOSCROLL           Causes the screen to be updated only after a
                       full command has completed. As a result, you
                       may see only the last part of the command's
                       output in its screen window.

2  –  Description

    The SET MODE command sets or cancels screen mode and various
    submodes within screen mode. Keypad mode is enabled by default.
    You must disable keypad mode only if your program requires the
    use of the numeric keypad for its own purposes.
