Figure 20: Poll Timing
4.5.3 Auto Transmit Keypresses On (254 65) (R)
In this mode, all keypresses are sent immediately to the host system without the use of the poll keypad
command. This is the default mode on power up.
4.5.4 Auto Transmit Keypresses Off (254 79) (R)
In this mode, up to 10 keypresses are buffered until the unit is polled by the host system via the poll
keypad command. Issuing this command places the unit in polled mode.
4.5.5 Clear Key Buffer (254 69)
This command clears any unread keypresses. In a menuing application, if the user presses a key which
changes the menu context, any following key presses may be inaccurate and can be cleared out of the buffer
between menu changes to prevent jumping around the menu tree. It may also be used to, in effect, reset the
keypad in case the host application resets for whatever reason.
4.5.6 Poll Keypad (254 38)
This command returns any unbuffered keypresses via the RS-232 interface. The host system must be
set up to receive the key codes. When the display receives this command it will immediately return any
unbuffered keypresses which may have not been read already. If there is more than one keypress buffered,
then the high order bit (MSB) of this returned keycode will be set (1). If this is the only buffered keypress,
then the MSB will be reset (0). If there are no buffered keypresses, then the returned code will be 0x00.
Please note to make use of this command, the "Auto transmit keypress" mode should be off.
4.5.7 Set Debounce Time (254 85 [time]) (R)
[time] is in increments of 6.554 milliseconds.
