2. In Make/Break Typematic mode, the key is defined as repeatable at

the Repeat Rate established by the Keypad Properties Tool in
RAC6182 Control Panel. The key “Make” codes are sent when the
key is first pressed and the “Break” codes are sent when the key is
released. If the key is held down, the “Make” codes repeat at the
Repeat Rate.

Make/Break Typematic mode is available only for a single key press
definition including its modifiers, and as such is typically used to
map a programmable key to a single alpha key. Thus the keypad can
emulate a subset of a standard PC keyboard.

In the following example the programmable key emits the character
‘a’ at the Repeat Rate.
