Erasing a Key
(Esc Esc Esc)
:
Reprogramming a key on the X-keys automatically erases the previously saved keystrokes. When using a
double keycap, it is necessary to leave one of the keys blank so that the X-keys does not send an extra set of
commands when the key is pressed. To erase a key and leave it blank, put the X-keys in programming mode
and select a key, press and release the Esc key three times, and confirm programming on the key.
Entire X-keys Special Programming Features
These features affect the entire unit and include changing the transmission speed, changing the Caps Lock
memory and erasing the entire unit.
Slow Transmission Speed
(Esc + 3)
:
Some applications or systems have a slower response time and the default X-keys speed is too fast. To slow the
rate at which the X-keys sends key commands, program a key with the Esc + 3 combination. The key may be
reprogrammed with a key sequence, and the X-keys will retain the slow transmission rate setting.
Normal Transmission Speed
(Esc + 4)
:
Normal Transmission Speed is the default for the X-keys. If you previously programmed Slow Transmission
Speed and you want to return the X-keys to Normal Transmission Speed, program a key with the Esc + 4
combination. The key may be reprogrammed with a key sequence, and the X-keys will retain the normal
transmission rate setting.
Caps Lock Features
The next three features affect how the X-keys handles the Caps Lock state of the standard keyboard, and are
particularly useful if you are recording case sensitive words or commands.
Caps Lock/Unlock Memory
(Esc + 8)
:
If you want the X-keys to ignore the Caps Lock state of the keyboard and play back the letters exactly as they
were typed, turn this feature on.
Caps Lock/Shift Unlock Memory
(Esc + 9)
:
If you are working with a keyboard which uses the Shift Key to release the Caps Lock State (French, German,
etc.), and you want the X-keys to ignore the Caps Lock state of the keyboard and play back the letters exactly as
they were entered, turn this feature on.
No Caps Lock Memory
(Esc + 7)
:
If you want the case of letters coming from the X-keys to be determined by the Caps Lock state of the keyboard,
turn Caps Lock Memory off (the default setting for the X-keys).
Resetting the X-keys
(Esc Backspace Esc Esc Esc)
:
To erase the entire X-keys, put the X-keys into Programming mode and tap any key. Type, <Esc>
<Backspace> <Esc> <Esc> <Esc> on the standard keyboard. Resetting the X-keys removes all programming
from all keys on both layers.
