Macros Edit Menu
Command Description
Exit Returns to the Main Menu.
View Allows you to view, but not edit, the macro for the selected key. When View is chosen,
the Exit option is displayed on the menu bar and a graphic representation of the
chosen keypad is shown. Select Exit from the View Menu to return to the Macros
Menu. To select a key to view, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the desired
key and press
ENTER
. The macro is displayed as two lines: ASCII and code. The ASCII
line displays each keycode as the keys it represents on the full-stroke keyboard.
Special labels are used for certain keys (e.g., Spc for space bar, UAr for up arrow, and
bk for the break code prefix). The code line is displayed in either Hex or decimal.
There is a one-to-one correspondence between the ASCII and code lines.
While viewing the macro, the menu bar displays two options: Exit and Hex/Decimal.
Exit returns to the View Menu, while Hex/Decimal toggles between displaying the
macro in hex or decimal format. When Hex is chosen, the
keycodes are displayed as
hexadecimal value scan codes. When Decimal is chosen, the keycodes are displayed
as the decimal equivalent of the hex codes.
For example, the macro abc would be displayed as 1C F0 1C 32 F0 32 21 F0 21 in
hex, and 28 240 28 50 240 50 33 240 33 in decimal.
Teach Allows you to record up to 105 keystrokes in a macro. When selected, a graphic
representation of the keypad currently in memory displays. Menu bar choices are Exit,
ASCII/Hex/Decimal, and Click ON/OFF. Exit returns to the Macros menu.
ASCII/Hex/Decimal specifies the format to display the keystrokes as they are entered.
Default is ASCII. Click is not supported.
To select a key to define, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the desired key
and press
ENTER
. After you select a key, the utility records every keystroke on the
external full-stroke keyboard in a macro assigned to the chosen key. As the keys are
entered, they are displayed using the chosen format.
ESC
stops recording and returns
to the Teach Menu, so you cannot record the
ESC
key. However,
ESC
can be included
in a macro by using the editor. Changes made to the macros in the Teach Menu are
not programmed until you select Download.

In edit mode, the macro is displayed as two lines. The top line (the edit line) displays
the macro in either hex or decimal format and is the line in which the editing takes
place. The bottom line displays the macro in ASCII format; it is not user configurable.
This line keeps track of which part of the macro you are editing, and is updated by the
utility as editing takes place.
The insert, delete, and cursor control keys are active for editing. When a key is
selected from the Edit Macro option, the menu bar displays the following choices: Exit,
Cut, Copy, Paste, Codes, Hex/Decimal, and I/O (Insert/Overtype). The macro for the
chosen key is also displayed.
Cut deletes a sequence of scan codes from the macro. To select a section to cut:
1. Place the cursor on the first character to cut.
