Button Press - Event Notification
When one of the MK1000 function buttons is depressed, a string is sent to the host where
<Keypad digit, 1 through 4> is the number of the button pressed. For example, "BTN4" is
sent to the host when the right most button, ‘4’, is pressed. This event notification must be
surrounded by the normal framing characters used by the PCK emulation firmware (which
are dependent on communications type described in Table 5-2 on page 5-3).
