Details
A history of the key code for the last pressed front-panel key is maintained by the instrument. When
the instrument is turned on, or when it is transitioning from local to remote operation, the key code is
set to 0 (
display.KEY_NONE
).
Pressing the EXIT (LOCAL) key normally aborts a script. To use this function with the EXIT (LOCAL)
key, you must set
display.locallockout
to
display.LOCK
.
The table below lists the
keyCode
value for each front-panel action.

When using this function, use built-in constants, such as
display.KEY_STEP
, rather than the
numeric value, such as

. This allows for better forward compatibility with firmware revisions.
