GenCalc
Embedded with the Driver Program is a nice utility called
GenCalc
. GenCalc is an Adding Tape Machine Program. It’s
the equivalent of an accountant’s paper tape calculator. The on-screen
tape can be scrolled and edited (which is better than paper tape). The
functions can be controlled either by standard keyboard shortcuts, or the
mouse. However, GenCalc’s main advantage is that the functions can
be executed from the AddPoint itself without ever having to take your
hands off of it. It does this by means of using keystroke combinations.
You can assign a key to be a function key such that if you hold it down
and press another key simultaneously a GenCalc function will be
executed instead of the normal keystroke being output. The following
functions can be defined:
q
Open/Close
-- Default is / *
q
Transfer Total
-- Default is / +
q
Clear Entry
-- Default is / -
q
Percent
-- Default is / 7
q
Tax
-- Default is / 9
As an example, the Total may be transferred to any underlying Windows
application (such as MS Excel) by pressing / and + on the Addpoint.
GenCalc can be made visible or hidden by pressing / and * on the
Addpoint. Don’t forget, you can change the combinations for these
functions or turn them off via the Driver Program.
Keypad Redefinition Software:
An added feature of this driver software is the ability to redefine
the output values of each key on the AddPoint. The Keypad
Redefinition Software is an added application that allows you to program
an entire macro to be output upon a key press on the keypad. In
addition, you have the ability to program common Windows Shell
commands or to launch applications. The customization has very few
limits. The Keypad Redefinition Software is automatically installed on
your machine and can be accessed via the Start Menu, or from the
properties window of the Driver Program itself.
