The menu bar displayed while viewing the macro offers two options: Exit and
Hex/Decimal.
Exit
Returns to View menu.
Hex/Decimal
Toggles between displaying the macro in hex or decimal format. Default
is Hex. When
Hex is chosen, keycodes are displayed as they are in memory—hexadecimal value scan
codes. When Decimal is chosen, 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 key strokes in a macro. When Teach is selected, a
graphic representation of the keypad currently in memory is displayed. Menu bar choices
are Exit, ASCII/Hex/Decimal, and Click ON/OFF.
Exit
Returns to Macros menu.
ASCII/Hex/Decimal
Chooses the format to display the keystrokes as they are entered. Default is ASCII.
Click
Not supported on the 9457.
ON/OFF
To select a key to define, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the desired key and
press
ENTER
.
After a key is selected, the utility records every key stroke on the external
full stroke keyboard into a macro to be assigned to the chosen key. As the keys are en-
tered they are displayed using the chosen format.
ESC
is used to stop recording and re-
turn to the Teach Menu, so it is not a recordable key. However,
ESC
can be included in a
macro by using the editor.
