SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE KB5000
Besides being able to program all the keys of an IBM101 keyboard, the
KB5000 has also incorporated three state-of-the-art features which will
add flexibility and functionality to the keyboard.
INTER-STRING DELAY
This feature allows for a time delay(s) to be installed after a character(s)
has been inserted into a cell. To use this feature follow the steps below:
1.
Enter the character(s) which will precede the delay. For
example, ABC.
2.
Depress and hold the ALT key while pressing the letter D. A time
delay screen will open asking for the amount of delay you require
(up to 240 seconds). Select the appropriate delay and press
ENTER. A square pixel will appear on the programming line
immediately following the last character typed.
3.
Type the next character(s), DEF. You can use more than one
delay per cell and each delay time can be different.
4.
Save the template and then write the template to the keyboard.
5.
Exit the KB5 program by pressing F10 followed by the letter Y.
6.
Press the location key where the time delay character has been
stored. The monitor will display ABC immediately. After the delay
time you entered for this key has expired, DEF will be displayed on
the monitor and the cursor will be present at the prompt.
