Details
After you send this function, script execution pauses until a front panel action (for example, pressing a key or the
navigation wheel, or turning the navigation wheel). After the action, the
keyCode
value for that action is returned.
If the
EXIT (LOCAL)
key is pressed while this function is waiting for a front panel action, the script is not aborted.
A typical use for this function is to prompt the user to press the
EXIT (LOCAL)
key to abort the script or press
any other key to continue. For example, if the
keyCode
value
67
is returned (the
EXIT (LOCAL)
key was
pressed), the
exit()
function can be called to abort the script.
The table below lists the
keyCode
value for each front panel action.
