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 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 it is not a recordable 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.
Edit

Exit, Click, and ON/OFF.
Exit
returns to the Macros menu.
Click
is not supported. To
select a key to edit, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the desired key and press
ENTER
.
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 actual editing takes
place. The bottom line (the ASCII line) displays the macro in ASCII format and is not
user configurable. This line helps keep track of which part of the macro you are editing,
and will be updated by the utility as editing takes place. For example,
edit line
12 75 F0 75 F0 12 1C F0 1C 12 22 F0 22 F0 12 0
ASCII line
sh 8
bk 8
bk sh a

sh X
