Software Keypad Interface
4.1 Introduction
The Software Keypad Control with its two familiar keypad windows, provides the User the
ability to control the basic functions of the FS-M with a PC that is directly connected to it by
the RS232 interface, see ”RS-232 Interface” on page 43. This connection requires a
crossover cable with female, 9-pin, sub-D connectors at both ends.
In addition, the keypad application has a
Macro
feature that offers the User the capability to
create macro commands so that frequently used strings of FS-M commands can be scripted
and then executed by pressing a hotkey on the keyboard., see ”Macros” on page 27.
