to time out the terminal keyboard:
Getchar()—which searches the input buffer for a character

Refer to chapter 11 for detailed information on these functions.
Example using the inquire command:
If you enter:
IN US_8’SET POINT:\X’
P US_8

CRT:
SET POINT:
This line prompts you to enter a number followed by an [ENTER].
Suppose you enter 2 3 8 [ENTER], the 1775-S4B scanner would store 238
in user symbol US_8. The \X places the user input on the same line as the
message.
So the entry would appear:
SET POINT: 238
Then the 1775-S4B scanner prints user symbol US_8:
238
Definition: To remove a user symbol.
