Chapter Four – Keypad Utility
67
Teach
Allows you to record up to 105 keystrokes in a macro. When selected, a graphic
representation of the keypad currently in memory displays. Menu bar choices are
Exit, ASCII/Hex/Decimal, and Click ON/OFF. Exit returns to the Macros menu.
ASCII/Hex/Decimal chooses the format to display the keystrokes as they are
entered. Default is ASCII. Click is not supported.
To select a key to define, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the desired key
and press
ENTER. After a key is selected, the utility records every key stroke on the
external full-stroke keyboard in a macro assigned to the chosen key. As the keys are
entered they are displayed using the chosen format.
ESC stops recording and returns
to the Teach Menu, so it is not a recordable key. However,
ESC can be included in a
macro by using the editor. Changes made to the macros in the Teach Menu are not
programmed until you select Download.
Edit
Displays a graphic representation of the keypad in memory and a menu bar
displaying Exit, Click, and ON/OFF. Exit returns to the Macros menu. Click is not
supported. To select a key to edit, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the
desired key and press
ENTER.
In edit mode, the macro is displayed as two lines. The top line (the edit line) displays
the macro in either hex or decimal format and is the line in which the actual editing
takes place. The bottom line (the ASCII line) displays the macro in ASCII format
and is not user configurable. This line helps keep track of which part of the macro
you are editing, and will be updated by the utility as editing takes place. For
example,
edit line 1275F075
F0 12 1C F0 1C
12 22 F0 22 F0
12 0
ASCII line sh 8 bk 8
bk sh a bk a
sh X bk X bk
sh EOM
The insert, delete, and cursor control keys are active for editing.
When a key is selected from the Edit Macro option, the menu bar displays the
following choices: Exit, Cut, Copy, Paste, Codes, Hex/Decimal,
and I/O (Insert/Overtype). The macro for the chosen key is also displayed.
Cut
Deletes a sequence of scan codes from the macro. To select a section to cut:
1. Place the cursor on the first character to cut.
2. Press
F1 and select CUT.
3. Press
ENTER. Cut should still be highlighted, but the cursor will appear on the
Edit line. Move the cursor on the last character to cut and press
ENTER.
