The Keypad
The keyboard of the
Z4 DataTraq contains two shift
keys; a
BLUE
key and a
YELLOW
key. These shift keys are used to
access the blue and yellow
characters shown on each key.
The shift keys operate differently
to those on a computer keyboard
or typewriter – on the
Z4 DataTraq, you press a shift
key once and released it, then
press the required key. The
keyboard then returns to the
normal unshifted state.
If you mistakenly press a shift
key, simply press it a second
time to return the keypad to the
normal unshifted state. If you press the wrong shift key, just press the
other one to fix the problem.
The
FUNC
function key has two uses – if you press it at the normal
?
prompt, it brings up the
Function:
prompt, where you can enter a two
digit function number. See page 9 of this manual for a list of functions.
If you press the
FUNC
key during normal keypad entry, or press it again
when the
Function:
prompt is being displayed as above, an
Ascii code:
prompt is displayed. At this prompt, an ASCII character number can be
entered - a table on page 17 gives a list of ASCII character codes. This
facility allows any character to be entered from the keypad.
