EDITING KEY DEFINITIONS

1.Selecting Keys to Edit

Use Shift Key and the Arrows Keys on the standard keyboard to select the key for editing. Hold down the shift key and hit the arrow keys until the key to be edited is being highlighted.

2.Checking Key Definitions

The current key definition is shown on the single line “Key Content” text box below the keyboard layout.

3.Selecting Programming Modes

Programming mode is selectable for each individual key. Click on Key Edit menu or the icon on the toolbar to select the desired mode.

Scan Code Mode

ƒKey definition entered as Scan Codes (codes that are sent by a standard keyboard to the PC)

ƒAllow entry of special key functions (e.g. F1 to F12, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Arrows Keys, Windows Keys, Caps Lock, NumLock, Number pad keys, etc.)

ƒEmulate exact key operation sequences.

ƒUpper/Lower case status depends on Caps Lock and Shift key status.

ASCII Code Mode

•Key definition entered as ASCII string of characters.

•Simplify programming for entry of text string in the key definition (e.g. for entering login names, passwords, item names etc.) Note that if the text string is case sensitive, it is better to enable the “Use <Alt>+number key to make ASCII code” option in the Configuration→Config KB Properties menu.

•Send out ASCII codes in RS232 mode (optional interface). Note that keys programmed with Scan Code mode will send out Scan Codes via the RS232 port. If actual ASCII codes are required, all keys have to be programmed in ASCII mode. In this case, special function keys cannot be programmed.

•Special key functions that are not part of standard ASCII code (e.g. F1 to F12, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Arrows Keys, Windows Keys etc.) cannot be programmed in ASCII mode.

•Decimal equivalent numeric values for ASCII codes (only 1 to 240 allowed) can be directly entered.

•ASCII mode can also be used to enter Scan Codes by entering the key token names.

4.Entering Key Definitions

Scan Code Mode

•In Scan Code mode, pressing a key will enter that key in the definition and shown as the key name enclosed between square brackets, [ ].
