Assign Key Field
This scroll list sets which key press is associated with the ASCII string.
Function Field
This scroll list sets up the key as either a RS-232 Command or a Field Note. RS-232 commands are
sent out the serial port, while field notes are stored in the internal memory.
Delete Command
Pressing ENTER on this field will delete the entire command from memory.
Download all commands from PC
You may download an ASCII file from your PC to set up the entire set of commands. This is strongly
recommended, since entering them from the scroll list below is very tedious. See the section below on how
to set up and transfer a file of commands from your PC.
Chat Mode
This will enable you to observe the ASCII text coming from whatever device is connected to the serial
port.
Current Character
You may scroll through this list to the desired character to add to the present command. Pressing the
MARK key will add it to the end of the command. As a handy shortcut, you may press any numeric key to
add a numeric character. There is no way to insert characters in the middle of the command. This manner
of entering a command is so tedious, we recommend using it only if you forgot to download a needed
command when you were near a PC.
