Chapter 3 – Keypad Utility Program

143311 (H)
A full-stroke keyboard is needed to enter keystrokes while recording a new key
macro, editing an existing macro, or entering utility commands. You can redefine
all keys on the keypads, except the F/A (Function/Alpha) key. While the utility is
running, the keypads are disabled.
Dialog boxes appear for user prompts, and to display error and user advice
messages. Any keys used specifically in each menu are shown at the bottom of
each screen (see Figure 3-1).
Two keys allow you to exit the menus:
•
ESC
moves to the previous menu or out of the utility from the Main
Menu
•
F1
returns to the current menu headings in some of the menus where
Exit
can be chosen to exit this menu
Startup
To begin using the keypad utility, type
kp3util
at the prompt (for the floppy drive
when no DOS is available, or the CD-ROM drive if it is). The program will bring
up the main menu. Open the
def3612.pkm
file in the main menu to program the
keypad. (This file contains the default keypad settings for the 3700 series.)
Changes to the default file should be saved to a new file with the pkm extension. If
you do not open a file, the macros pull-down menu will not be available.
Note
If you make any changes to your keypad and want to set it back to the default
settings, open the pkm file for your unit (e.g., def3612.PKM for 3715KPM) from
the File/Open menu, and then download it from the download menu.
Caution
Do not save any changes to the default files
.

Figure 3-1 shows the Main Menu screen. The functions of the pull-down menus
are described in the following sections.
Note
Exit and Download do not have pull-down menus.
Note
Use
F
1 to access the menu bar options in the
kp3util
program.
