Inserting Delays
The keypad can rapidly send a long series of keystrokes to the PC or KVS. At
times the PC, no matter how fast, will not be able to keep up. To give the PC a
breather, you can insert delays between your keystrokes.
To the right of MacroMaster’s virtual PC keyboard is a small box with an Insert
Delay button. The delay is adjustable over a range of 4ms to 500ms (half a
second) using the slider. Hovering your mouse over the slider tells you how long
the inserted delay will be. The default is 200ms (one fifth of a second). Click the
Insert Delay button to pause the keypad for that amount of time. If you need
extremely long delays, click it several times in a row.
Here is how it appears in the macro:
Two-Level Programming
On your PC, the number keys 1 through 9 are also used for symbols
!@#$%^&*(). These symbols are accessed using the PC’s Shift key. Similarly,
your 684 supports two “levels” per key. In order to use the second level on your
684, you must first assign an access key (a level shift and/or level toggle key)
and then you must fill in the data for the second level.
1. Assigning the 2
nd
level access key. Choose a key on MacroMaster’s virtual
keypad and then right-click that key. Select whether you want the level
access to be Shift (requires that you hold the 2
nd
level access key down) or
Toggle (the level switches back and forth every time you press the 2
nd
level
access key).
