Tera Term

For use with Microsoft Windows, we suggest using
Tera Term. It’s free to download and use. Tera Term
is a terminal emulator that also has a macro (or
scripting) capability. The terminal emulator
provides a simple way to test and experiment the
operation of the KeyAT-5. You can also create
scripts to automate the keystrokes.

Examples:

Command shell examples:

:dir^M<ENTER>

Sends a “dir” and an “Enter” key

:dir~:28<ENTER>

Sends a “dir” ended with a “Enter” key

:~F<ENTER>

Puts KeyAT in “CR Pass-Thru Mode”.

:dir<ENTER>

Sends a “dir” command ended with

implicit “Enter” key

:~L<ENTER>

Ends “CR Pass-Thru Mode”.

Sending Keys that don’t have ASCII equivalents:

:~:3A<ENTER>

Sends F1 key

:~C~:3A<ENTER>

Sends Ctrl-F1 key

:~A~:3A<ENTER>

Sends Alt-F1 key

:~:52<ENTER>

Sends Up-Arrow key
