Make/Break Non-Repeat Mode
Selecting “Make/Break Non-Repeat Mode” functionality for either the
Programmable Keys (F1-F14 and K1-K20) or the Fixed Keys (all other
keys on the keypad) will determine how these keys operate during a
continuous key press. All keys within the associated group that have the
key mode “Make/Break Typematic” selected will be affected. Keys
configured for Macro String mode are not affected by this setting.
If the Non-Repeat Mode is disabled, then the keys will repeat when held
down as defined by the Make/Break Typematic mode. If the Non-Repeat
Mode is enabled, then no repeat codes will be sent. The 6181 BIC Card
will send a single “Make” code when the key is pressed, nothing will be
sent while the key is held down, and a single “Break” code will be sent
when the key is released.
Click on the box next to Programmable Keys to enable or disable the
Make/Break Non-Repeat Mode for this group of keys (F1-F14, K1-K20).
A “check” in the box indicated that the mode is enabled.
Click on the box next to Fixed Keys to enable or disable the Make/Break
Non-Repeat Mode for this group of keys. A “check” in the box indicated
that the mode is enabled.
Single Key Hold-Off Interval
This feature is used to “deactivate” a key immediately after it has been
pressed and released, for a programmable time interval from 100
milliseconds up to 4 seconds. This is useful when specific keys are used
for jogging type operations, to slow down the key code input stream
from overrunning the operating system or application input buffers.
Use the pull-down menu next to the appropriate key group
(Programmable Keys or Fixed Keys) to select the desired time interval.
For example, select “1 sec” for the Programmable Keys. When a
function key is pressed and released, another key press to that function
key will be ignored for one second.
To disable the hold-off interval, select “disabled” from the pull-down
menu.
Multi-Key Control
This feature is used to select the desired operation when multiple keys
are pressed simultaneously. Select the desired mode by clicking on the
circle or text for “None”, “Single Programmable Key Mode”, or Single
Programmable Key Mode with Abort”.
The “None” selection does not inhibit any multi-key presses.
The “Single Programmable Key Mode” selection permits only one
programmable key press at a time. If a programmable key, or the CTRL,
