Input To The Program Buffer
To start with programming, the user may load the program buffer with a file
from HDD or network (ref. Fig. 2-3). The user may also read the current content of the
programmable keyboard into the keyboard buffer (ref. Fig. 2-4) which is now done
automatically when entering the program with a programmable keyboard connected, or
just start programming with a blank program buffer by erasing all the contents in the
program buffer.
Editing The Program Buffer
The user may then edit the program buffer key by key in the process flow
explained in Fig. 2-5. Firstly go to the right position by selecting page, column and key,
then enter either ASCII-code or scan-code editing mode depends on what to program.
Edit or modify one key after another to come to the expected key-content in program
buffer.
