ASCII Scratchpad - 900/1000/1400 Touch Screen Terminals
Select characters by touching the Character Keyboard on the screen.
The character is entered in the Display Area. This area scrolls so you
can enter a string that is longer than the Display Area. All characters
are sent to the controller even if not visible.
After entering the characters, press
↵ on the scratchpad to send the
characters to the controller. The leftmost character is placed in the
high byte of the first word (of the write tag), the next character in the
low byte, and so on.
Note: DeviceNet ASCII entry allows for byte swapping.

SHF
(Shift)
By default this function is off and keys are in unshifted state. When you press SHF, the button appears
in reverse video. All character keys, including numbers and symbols, appear in the shifted state. For
example, a becomes A; 2 becomes @.
CAPS By default, keys appear in lowercase. When you press CAPS, the button appears in reverse video.
Letters appear and are entered in uppercase but numbers and symbols are not shifted. This state is
maintained between power cycles.
INS Toggles between Insert and Overstrike mode. Overstrike mode appears in reverse video.
In Insert mode, the selected character is inserted before the cursor in the Display Area. If the
maximum number of characters is entered in the Display Area, new characters are ignored.
In Overstrike mode, the selected character is replaced at the cursor in the Display Area.
<< Moves the cursor one character to the left in the Display Area.
>> Moves the cursor one character to the right in the Display Area.
ESC Closes the scratchpad without making any changes.
CLR Clears the string in the Display Area.
←
Deletes the character to the left of the cursor in the Display Area.
↵
Sends the character string to the assigned write tag address in the controller.
After pressing
↵ to open the ASCII scratchpad, the string is highlighted. If you select a character
immediately, the terminal clears the Display Area and displays the selected character. If you press a
control key, the terminal continues to display the existing string so you can edit it.
