ASCII Scratchpad - PV900/1000/1400 Touch Screen Terminals
Select characters by touching the Character Keyboard on the screen.
The character is entered in the Display Area. This area scrolls so you
can enter a string that is longer than the Display Area. All characters
are sent to the controller even if not visible.
After entering the characters, press
↵
on the scratchpad to send the
characters to the controller. The leftmost character is placed in the
high byte of the first word (of the write tag), the next character in the
low byte, and so on.

Controls Function
SHF
(Shift) By default this function is off and keys are in unshifted state. When you press
SHF, the button appears in reverse video. All character keys, including
numbers and symbols, appear in the shifted state. For example, a becomes A;
2 becomes @.
CAPS By default, keys appear in lowercase. When you press CAPS, the button
appears in reverse video. Letters appear and are entered in uppercase but
numbers and symbols are not shifted. This state is maintained between
power cycles.
INS Toggles between Insert and Overstrike mode. Overstrike mode appears in
reverse video.
In Insert mode, the selected character is inserted before the cursor in the
Display Area. If the maximum number of characters is entered in the Display
Area, new characters are ignored.
In Overstrike mode, the selected character is replaced at the cursor in the
Display Area.
<< Moves the cursor one character to the left in the Display Area.
>> Moves the cursor one character to the right in the Display Area.
ESC Closes the scratchpad without making any changes.
