Rockwell Automation 6182 Industrial Computer for the Windows CE Operating System - Manual (Page 90)

8–22 Keypad Operation
Publication 6182-UM001D-EN-P
Select Mode
Determines how the contents of the Text Edit Box will be handled by the
RAC6182 when the selected key is pressed. There are 3 modes,
established by radio buttons.
1. In Macro/String mode, the key is defined as non-repeating and all
key codes are sent as a single string when the key is first pressed. A
key defined as a Macro/String can submit a sequence of up to 31 key
presses to the application that is currently in focus.
In the following example, the programmable key emits the well-
known, DOS “DIR command” to the command prompt. The
RAC6182 command prompt application window must be “in focus”
on the RAC6182 before this macro string will work. The command
prompt can be opened from the Start menu: START / PROGRAMS /
COMMAND PROMPT.
