Parameters same as shown for example 1.
EXAMPLE 6.
This example programs key at top left-hand corner of keyboard (row 1, column A) as a primary
key that outputs the string "abCd" for MAKE.
1. Use the data in Appendix D to find the key code numbers for the A, B, C and D keys on the
101/102-keyboard. The key code numbers for the A, B, C and D keys = 31, 50, 48 and 33,
respectively.
2. Convert key codes 31, 50, 48 and 33 to their hexadecimal equivalents. The key codes = 1F,
32, 30 and 21, respectively.
3. Program command = A0krcCxDxCxDx(C^xD^x)CxDx
A0 P 1 CF D1 C2 D3 ( C0 D3 ) C1 D2
Parameters same as shown for example 1, except () = left shift MAKE and BREAK.
This command sends the MAKE code for the "ab"; MAKE code for the left SHIFT; MAKE
code for "C"; then BREAK code for the left SHIFT followed by the MAKE code for the "d".
EXAMPLE 7.
This example programs key at top left-hand corner of keyboard (row 1, column A) as a primary
key that outputs the scan code "left CONTROL a" for MAKE and BREAK.
1. Use the key code data in Appendix D to find that the key code number for the "A" key. The
key code = 31.
2. Convert key code 31 to its hexadecimal equivalent. The key code = 1F hex.
3. Program command = A0krc[CxDx!]
Parameters same as shown for example 1, except [] = left CONTROL key MAKE and
BREAK and ! = define where BREAK code start.
This command sends the MAKE code for the left CONTROL; MAKE code for the "a" when
pressed; then after release of the key the BREAK for the left CONTROL. This allows more
keys to be typed in while the PC is under the influence of CONTROL. The ! causes all
codes remaining in the key macro to be sent on release of the key.
