settings as a keyboard key. If you want the stored action not to repeat when the pedal is held
down, enter an Esc L-shift sequence before typing the single key action to be stored.
For a macro (multiple key actions produced by a single pedal action) the normal mode is not
to repeat. If Esc LShift is used, the macro output will repeat at a moderate rate, though neither
the repeat rate nor the repeat delay can be modulated using the keyboard section of the
control panel.
Details:
1. While in programming mode, tap the desired foot switch pedal.
2. Press and hold Esc, next press and release LShift, then release Esc.
3. Type the key(s) you want stored in the pedal.
4. Tap the pedal again.
5. Exit from programming mode by sliding the programming switch to the right.
Different key actions for down & up strokes: Esc L-Control betwen down and up actions
Use this feature cautiously so as not to lock up your computer or cause a “stuck key.” It is
possible to make the foot pedal transmit a compleate command when the pedal is pressed (as
if a keyboard key or mouse button is pressed and released).
Another application is to send one action when the pedal is pressed and a different action
when the pedal is released. For example, in transcription software, you might want to send a
"Play" action when the pedal is pressed and a "Stop" action when the pedal is released.
This type of programming is accomplished by entering Esc LCtrl as the separator between the
down commands and the up commands.
Details:
1. While in programming mode, tap the desired foot switch pedal.
2. On the main keyboard, type the key or keys to be sent on the downstroke.
3. Press and hold Esc, then press and release the LCtrl key, then release the Esc.
4. Type the key or keys to be sent on the up stroke.
5. Tap the pedal being programmed again and exit from programming mode by sliding the
programming switch to the right.
Slow output: Esc 3 (normal output is Esc 4)
The foot switch can be configured to slow the rate at which programmed key actions are sent
to the computer. This option affects all pedals (it cannot be set to affect only one pedal). This
change can be made either before or after the foot switch is programmed, except that the
pedal which is pressed during this programming step will lose any stored key actions which
must be then re-programmed.
