NOTE
When using this function, send built-in defines such as display.KEY_RIGHT
(rather than the numeric value of 103). This will allow for greater forward
compatibility with respect to firmware revisions. For example, use
display.KEY_ENTER
instead of
82
.

Front panel keys
(on page 3-6) for key functions.

To use a bus command to simulate the action of a front panel
RUN
key being pressed:
