Function Key Tag

The Return Number tag is the address where the terminal writes the
message number of the most recent active message on the display if:

the message has Function key(s) enabled, and

the Return Message Number attribute is enabled in the Advanced
tab dialog.

The only valid data type for this tag is unsigned integer.

Note: If the controller is an ASCII Triggering device, the Return
Function Key Message Number is sent back as part of the Ctrl-F
message. See Page 5–11.

To enter the global Function key tag:

select the name of a tag from the list box, or

type a new tag name and select the Edit Tag button to define the
tag.
