Setting Up Function Keys in Agilent AdvanceLink
•From the Main (highest level) screen, set up the 8 softkeys as follows:
1. Display User Definition screens by pressing Ctrl F9.
2. Enter all the LABEL titles for K1 through K8.
3. Activate the “Display Function” feature by pressing softkey F7.
4. Now you can enter the escape codes for each edit command aligned with the soft
key definitions you just entered. With the Display Functions key pressed, when you
press the escape key, a left arrow will be displayed.
Once you have set up all 8 keys, you activate them by pressing Shift F12. To deactivate
your user defined softkeys, press F12.

Setting Up Function Keys in ProComm

ProComm does not have function keys. However, escape sequences can be

assigned to number keys 0 through 9 by using the Keyboard Macro function. This

function is accessed by keying Alt+M. There is no method of displaying key

labels so they will have to be recorded elsewhere. See the ProComm manual for

further information.
