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.

Indepenent control functions (from Appendix E of X3.64-1977).
These four controls have the same meaning regardless of the current
definition of the C0 and C1 control sets. Each control is a two-character
ESCape sequence, the 2nd character is lowercase.

Control Sequences (defined by ANSI X3.64-1979)
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
[4l Reset insert mode, new characters replace existing ones
[0i Print screen (all 24 lines) to the printer
[4i All received data goes to the printer (nothing to the screen)
[5i All received data goes to the screen (nothing to the printer)
